Grazing Rites

My son had us up for quite a bit last night. Normally my girlfriend’s so quick to catch it I often don’t even know he woke up but last night I woke before she did. I wonder if the baby monitor might not be working right. I wonder how much longer we’ll even need it for. The kid’s got a good set of pipes.

One of my staff had to leave as soon as I got in today. She said it was the flu but I suspect jet lag. She’s a trooper though. The result however was me minding the store for about 4 hours. No breakfast (not even a vitamin C) and no lunch until 3pm. And the only thing that didn’t have an enormous line was funnel cakes. So that’s what I had for the first time ever. 11 years and my consume-mass-quantities philosophy has still left me with new discoveries.

I spent much of the rest of the day revising our manual for the forthcoming new hires. Boy do we need them, I’m dancing on the head of a pin here.

Went for dinner with Sam and we reunited a lost boy with his father. Sam also offered some praise for the lost child radio procedures, completely unaware that I had written them. That was really great to hear. People had said nice things about that protocol in the past but never someone who didn’t know they were speaking to the author. And Sam is not easily impressed. So high praise indeed.
