Finally, some rain...

Dear Nicky,

It rained pretty much all day yesterday and all day today, which is great because our lawn really needed the water. What's nice about living in the suburbs is that one (meaning, I) doesn't dread the rain like one (meaning, I) does in a more urban environment. In Hoboken, for instance, a big rain meant major puddles and traffic congestions. Out here in the suburbs, a big rain is good for your lawn and makes the air fresher than it's ever been in Hoboken. So I like it, is what I'm basically trying to say. This morning I went and got a haircut, nice and short, but not buzzed. Your DI came over later. She's nice, but I don't think she's ever encountered a little boy as cute and smart as you. Then Mom took you guys out to Granny's so I could finish the hall bathroom and attack the mildew in the basement without distraction. I used a propane torch for the first time to solder. It was awesome, and I think I did a pretty good job. Then you guys came home and you were insane with tiredness, since you didn't nap all day. Junie was her usual screaming self. And that's it for today.

Love,
Dad
