Our Friday tradition of Pizza Night has come back, but on a less frequent scale. We basically have one a month, starting last month. As always, it was great to see everyone again. On the other hand I wanted to spend more time with everyone, maybe even play a game like we have done so many times. However, Nigel was overtired. He wasn’t acting cranky, but the slightest little fall from running into someone or David and Catherine’s dog Teddy, would send a flood of tears. He usually over-reacts when he is overtired. (Marcia is teaching three classes of home schooled students every other Friday, and those days Nigel usually misses his naps, though he gets to play with a lot of other children.) Nigel did really bump his head on the dining room table, and that flood of tears wasn’t an over-reaction. I had some ice cream cake for him to try, and he ran off on me. Before I could get up and go get him, there was a thunk and some “oh’s” from those standing nearby. He wasn’t seriously hurt, and we couldn’t find a bruise, but it certainly sounded bad. He had a great time overall though.
I also got a book from David. He had mooched a hard cover version of Brooks Hansen’s “Perlman’s Ordeal”, so gave me his trade paperback edition. (Thanks again, David!) I read Hansen’s “The Chess Garden” a while back, that I both enjoyed and didn’t at the same time.
