Still stuck on the bus...

Dear Nicky,

Well, we've been working all week to get your bus route shortened, but with no luck yet. And since the Board of Ed is closed next week, you're stuck at least for another week. You're so good natured and just so naturally happy that I think you don't mind, but an hour and a half is just too much for a little kid. We ain't through with this yet, pal. We'll take care of you. Incidentally, you're first full week at Stones has gone just fine. I think it's a great stimulating and learning environment for you.

Love,
Dad
