Excitement

Today was bit more exciting than usual.

I heard this reported on NPR (it's my alarm) this morning and realized I would not be able to hit snooze. I work in this area and the hole in the ground kind of slowed down my commute to work. I'll be walking about six extra blocks in the very, very cold mornings and evenings to get to my bus stop until this is all cleaned up.

On the bright side, the little H man and I took a walk down to look at all the big trucks. I believe if he could talk he would have told me that this was our best field trip ever. He was audibly excited and squirming in my arms trying to see more things. If I turned away from the trucks he would whip his head around to get them into his view again. Just for the record, I did not train him to care about trucks and such boyish things, but it seems to be inbreed in his little head that these are truly things of great joy. We plan to continue these field trips daily until the road is fixed.
