back to school


it's fascinating - so much going on at work, so many people feeling so serious about such... serious stuff. and zev is off to grade four. which is the most serious thing for him. homework for the first time; he gets a little buddy in kindergarten or grade one to take care of (he's been looking forward to this since grade one). he's not sure that a "character" lunchbox will do; it needs to be a "grade four" sort of lunchbox. superman isn't cool enough anymore. something sort of navy blue and with no pictures on it. and a water bottle.

and amanda is in her graduating year - photos to be taken, yearbook momentos to write... dances to plan and hair and makeup and a dress and shoes and a little sparkly purse. and gary is back to work, for the first time in a long while working outside the home on a schedule (rather than a workshop here, a tutoring session there). changes and changes.
