Went to a concert in the park yesterday
Jun. 17th, 2016 06:43 pmProspect Park, not Central, which is... a much longer hike from the train.
But anyway, we had fun, even the girls. In the lead-up to the concert it was all "You didn't ask us if we wanted to go!" "Yes, because you don't have a choice, and why pretend?" and fussing, and then in the middle it was Eva complaining we sat too far back and she wanted to sit close to the music next time. I ought to get that in writing for next year....

It'll wear off about the time they go off to college. ;~D
Great links lately; more than I've had time to read, but I hope to get back to the ones I've missed.
Happy Summer Solstice Full Moon; hope you and yours have a wonderful summer!
