Bill is doing a service to the family. I don’t want to leave Pat and Sally unsupervised, and I can’t go to the movie with them. Tomorrow he’ll put on his marvelous Eagle Scout uniform and march in the parade with James, Pat, and Vlad (and Pack 198 and Pack 214 and whoever else shows up). Then he gets the evening off. I imagine he and his friends will do something involving fireworks, hopefully under competent adult supervision.
YAY, Bill!
(Take lots of piccies for me, please!)
