It was Friday May 7 and everything seemed like normal until we got to the Valley Road Building where Jane was supposed to take her AP exam. Once there, we discovered that there had been a lightning strike at the school and so everything was closed for the day. So, John and Frank and Fred and Jane and Kaylen and Devon came with backpacks to amuse Jane as Kaylen and Frank ate cereal and the meds led to a phone call or two but didn't deter me from my day.

I drove to Philadelphia (2140) and there was DrLen excited about his computer as we planned the day and stared at the refrigerator and bottles and plates so that we would know where DrLen should call for food as I admired the art work while the ordering continued and we eventually got to PrimoHoagies to buy our food. We drove past the red pepper sign and the people on the corner as I took this self portrait while we followed the yarn truck past the Free Library until we parked and secured the car at the Wissahickon and followed the path past the big tree and under the statue to the bench overlooking the water where we settled and took out the food and opened the wrapper and drank the water as the water below and the bridge above made the right setting from which to watch the fishermen and wonder if they both caught the same fish. Driving back on the parkway I tried a new genre which failed and got home where the kids looked like they hadn't moved.
