After I dropped the younger kids to school today, I sat on a bench and read a chapter of Blood Meridian. A high school friend of my daughter 's was walking to school and said: "I read that book." "For school?" I asked. "No, just on my own." My older son today also quoted Hamlet. What is going on?!

My youngest daughter, who has a cold and loves school, said this just now: “I don’t want to stay home from school. Then I just stay in my bed and cry.” I told her that was the saddest thing I ever heard. The imp laughed. Get better, little Mary, your birthday is in a few days!
