But life trudges on at our humble atomic age bachelor pad!
This day happens to be a big one in Junior's young life. The 9-year old will pass a major milestone by sleeping over at a friend's house, away from home for the first time tonight. I found it's a first for me too. After a quick run to Target to shop for new jammies for my Little Man (we found a very retro-looking pair with a Von Braun-style rocket print), with his sleeping bag packed and ready, we drove over to his friend's and off he went, acting so big. It's a very strange feeling to take your own flesh and blood, who's barely able to dress himself, and drop him off at a complete stranger's house for the night...
Back home I was enjoying a quiet relaxing Saturday, when be sheer accident I ran across this monologue by Jackie Gleason "Apology at Bedtime."

And that reminded me of an old clipping my Grandma E. had hanging in her home, which now hangs in our's...
So there's just no escaping it. There's a big absence around here. My little Junior is growing up before his time!
I hope he'll be able to untie his shoes by himself tonight. I hope he can tie them again in the morning. Maybe... maybe I should have packed that extra pair of underwear after all? =O
*Sigh* It's going to be mighty quiet around here.
Too quiet.
Maybe I should keep the phone close by, just in case ;)
