Another Transition

Today was the kids' first day of school. They were excited, I think, though only Catherine would actually admit it. It will be a big year for each of them -- sixth, fourth, and second grades all have their own special events and qualities.

Isabel and I don't start teaching until next week, so we dropped the kids off at school and then went to IHOP for breakfast, enjoying our first uninterrupted conversation in months. Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity for everyone!

In honor of the first day of school, here is a clip from Family Affair -- Buffy and Jody's first day of school. Pay attention to their leaving the apartment -- coolest door knobs on television, ever.

You have to love Mr. French. Sebastian Cabot is the best. If you didn't like him before, you'll love him after you hear his dramatic reading of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." Funny if you listen, sad if you watch.

Keep your pencils sharpened, everyone.
