I just read a few pages of harry potter to the boys over Skype while they were in their bed...

That was a phenomenal idea. Thank you. I can't tell you how great that was.

W sent me an email thanking me and telling me how hard she knows I am working and how hard it must be for me...

I"ll take that as a good moment all around.

heading up tomorrow. going to read to kids at school (yay. so looking forward to that...really)... then MC... then I think it is bingo night at the school from 6-8... fun.

w has reservations about me staying there... understood. called a friend to see if I could stay there. last few times I was there it wasn't good-- despite me saying I was going to be good.

so my goals for this weekend are to be Jeff Spicoli... without the weed-- though in some ways I could probably use some. not that I smoke-- though I do believe it should be legal. not too many people go into stoner rages-- alcohol yes. the pot people just need better lobbiests I guess.

I do not want to be any cause of agitation.. I just want to be mr. laid back... no I WILL be mr. laid back.

but thank you again for that thoughtful advice. it was really cool. I felt like I was there.
