K-O-U

The other night in the car on the way to the library, Douglas out of the blue said, "I know how to spell cutie. K-O-U."

Not right, obviously, but it seemed to me he was on the right track.

We are having nice weather this week after a lot of rain over the weekend. It's been sunny and near 70. Very pleasant. Owen and his friend went on a long bike ride with the friend's mother yesterday afternoon and then we went and got some bagels and sat outside of the bagel store in the sunshine.

The kids are really getting into AC/DC lately. Owen in particular is interested in listening to music and seeing whether he can identify the different instruments as it plays.

Next week are more of the big ugly school board budget cutting meetings. I hope they will find a way to preserve some of the programs that they are talking about cutting, but it is undoubtedly going to be unpleasant no matter what happens.
