Wake from some kind of intense in-progress kickball team selection to an eight o'clock alarm on a Saturday morning...

The kids are awake and busy... Patience performs a marriage ceremony for a pair of 3D-printed axolotls at the breakfast table... the bride wearing a train of TP...

Misty-rain morning driving Patience to the studio for three hours of dance... listening to music from West Africa on the radio...

Puck back from an overnight at J's prepares to leave for six hours in Produce... discusses Army National Guard and Air National Guard... difference in signing bonuses... his old-gold car won't start so he takes mine to work...

Oxbear and I bring the kids out for a few errands in a very busy Kirkwood...

• Great Harvest for two more loaves of bread (Puck has been asking... loves the stuff)
• Supplies for Oxbear to make a drum kit for Yali... and two yards of gold ruffle for me to stitch to the hem of Patience's solo dress... growing faster than it can keep up...
• Penn Station to split

Working at home into the evening... listening to a podcast Elmer sent to the group chat covering the Tri-State Tornado of 1925...

Sunset – a chilling page out of “The Willows”...

Yali pops another tooth out of his head right before the dinner hour... loose for days... “I punched it right out of my mouth!”... he then spends some time practicing his lightsaber skills... then hairstyles for Sunday School in the morning...
