Hey Jakey,

'Member when we talked about dodging bullets? I love your grandma (my mom) dearly, but she booked tickets that brought her out here for *three* weeks. That's a long time. We'll see how that washes out...

Let's see... what did you listen to today... Steve Forbert's Streets of this Town, the best of Duran Duran. I originally wanted to introduce you to Blue Oyster Cult today, but we'll have to wait until I find the CD.

All in all, we had a pretty good day today. I can get little tasks done in between your screaming spells. Nothing so long as a *shower*, but I can load the dishwasher, or make the bed, or check my email (quickly) during your miniscule down times. Either mama's got to pick up the pace, or you have to calm down for just a wee bit longer each time.

Boy, you do love the vacuum cleaner. I love you.
