There are some times when you’re reminded that you’re dealing with a single-track boy. Trying to get him to answer questions about his day is like pulling teeth in terms of frustration. I’m certain that he will only become less communicative as a teenager. Here’s our dinner conversation: “So how was school, Jacob?” “Good.” “What …

Cocooning.
Jacob’s been a little bit odd lately. I’m not sure what it is, but he’s had a moment of either sheer brilliance or lunacy. Laureen found a dress at the thrift store which essentially looks like a shift. It’s copper colored, sleveless, etc. Jacob likes to get in through the neck hole and work his …

Update
The stress test went well. They do a sonogram of your heart at “rest”, then they put you on a treadmill to get you up to maximum capacity. For me, this was 3.5 mph at a 14 degree incline, which started after the 6th minute. Immediately after they get your heart up, they do the …
First Wednesday
Charles got to both direct and run the computer at the First Wednesday service last night. He did an admirable job for the amount of slides he had (started off with 86), but his main comment coming out was that “the computer person needs a director to follow the script and alert to cues, because …
