the boy
Tommy
We bought the tickets back in May, when Papa was still here, still relatively stable. Things were relatively normal. But when a death comes, you start to second guess things.
Still, K and I have been so impressed with how the Boy has taken to guitar, how much he practices it, how interested he is in discovering new guitarists, that we decided that instead of it being a date night it would be a father-son-Mexican-feast-Tommy-Emmanuel evening.
I wish I could have gotten a picture of the Boy’s expression at times. “How is he doing that?!?” was a common comment.
Just listen to his show-closing (non-encore) version of “Guitar Boogie” to see what the Boy meant:
First Day 2021
It was yesterday, but I only got the pictures from K today. First day 2021. The Girl starts high school.
The Boy, now in fourth grade, is nearing the end of his elementary schooling.
These are big kids. How did that happen?

Autograph
When a world-class athlete who's won the World Cup twice, the world championship twice, and has three Olympic gold medals and a bronze -- when this guy stops by your grandma's house, you get him to sign anything you can find.
And why might this guy drop by your grandma's house? Because your grandma is his aunt,
making you his second cousin. I think. Some kind of cousin.
