meal worms and puppydog tails

The Science Fair is history. It seemed to me that we had been building up to this Fair with an excess of drama. First of all I hate these group projects because they are fraight with one kid doing nothing and temper tantrums all round. and I was right with this project in a perverse way because one of the kids ran away from home and while recaptured so to speak is not back in school. But somehow Kate and her co consipirator worked it out so that the meal worms were somebody else's problem and lived at somebody else's house. Thank god. But the Science Fair was interesting for me because I had a chance to see all her classmates again and to see how they have grown. i have pictures of them in my mind from k or first grade and low and behold it's 8th grade and almost time to graduate!

Memorial Day weekend and the living was easy. Arnie came in from Nville and we saw friends for dinner, had a coffee in Bryant Park, went to the theatre to see the Chris Rock play with the bizarre name, went to see Woody Allen's new movie, midnight in Paris, which I loved and in general had a good time hanging out. The weather was amazing and even today looks and feels like a present. We had our first dinner on the roof which is always a harbinger of summer, and we had it all to ourselves which was sweet.

Graduation for Kate in 2 weeks! Of course our only hurdle is a week of exams....
