Feisin' down south

Yali is awake before seven o'clock rearranging his bedroom... somehow hauls the costume rack upstairs from the basement himself... full spread of superhero jumpsuits...

Breakfast for Mama is beans on toast and a now very silver Lance Berkman Youtube interview...

An hour cleaning in the basement while Patience hangs out two states over with one of her BFFs, waiting for her turn to compete...

Puck returns from J's to find his cat lounging once again on his clean laundry... “Noooo!”

Sometime after the winners of the Irish soda bread competition are announced in Nashville, Patience learns that she has earned another two 5th place spots... after she was bumped up to compete against girls two to four years older than her... but that's all part of the unusual world that is competitive Irish dance...

Meanwhile Yali and I drop Puck off at work in a snappy cold – thirty degrees cooler than yesterday – for six hours in Produce...

After lunching with friends in the South, Oxbear and Patience immediately begin the five-hour trek home... Oxbear calls : we chat for awhile about the use of AI in 3D-printing (Oxbear wants to try for an electric violin) and education innovation, etc...

Yali and I splurge on Little Caesar's for an early dinner before he gets busy Mod-Podgeing things and Minecrafting on his castle stocked with gold cubes and lava vents...

And the crew all gets back together again around eight o'clock that evening...
