...are in Fox Point hanging out with Abby, Katy, and Will. Today Mimi and I joined the gang for a movie (Ferdinand), lunch, and other shenanigans. A two-night sleepover! Holy cow! And all is going well thanks to inherent goodness, and Ab's management skills.

Speaking of cows, however, Ferdinand seemed to benefit from the ministrations, occasionally, of a calming goat—a concept new to most of us. But, I am pleased to announce that the kids have assigned similar responsibilities to me. I don't think it's because I'm an old goat—rather because the moment I show up, things calm down. I have always valued my role as a calming influence, and it's nice to be recognized.
