In the morning dark rain hanging in the north for Opening Day... doesn't fall yet...

There's some back-and-forth before noon... starts with the Park for Yali and Patience... cascades of white and purple-singed blossoms... but they're in fight-y moods and we leave after half an hour...

Returning Gloria's vehicle in St. Charles County... the morning then results in somehow all three kids chucking down copious bowls of Captain Crunch Berries for lunch back home watching “Regular Show” as a steady silver rain falls past the windows...

With a crackle-and-boom of thunder out back... it's time to pick up the Toyota three days later... so after I drop Puck off at work, the rest of us drive out to St. Charles County again... while Oxbear takes a video call with Australia, Canada, Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK and I laugh quietly next to him over Colin Jost's autobiography just grabbed from the library (anyone who publishes a memoir at 37 must have experienced some eventful events)...

And then back to the studio for Patience... while I take the uncommon opportunity to grab dinner while I'm out... it might only be McDonald's... but to have been one of those “few” on the timeline of history who could materialize a hot fish sandwich, fried potatoes, and an ice cold drink while watching “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman” on a magic pad in my auto-mobile... that's something kind of special...
