Pirates and Cake
Busy and fun day. Henry and I went out to do errands, including returning a book to the library. While we were there he asked a very nice children’s librarian for recommendations. He told her his favorite books and she led him around and helped him pick out a good stack of the dark fantasy books he loves so much. He’s a reading machine lately. He started on A Wind in the Door right away in the car (lucky guy can read in the car without getting sick).
In the afternoon I helped him record more Pirate’s Chorus parts for librivox’s Pirates of Penzance production. I tried again to record Ruth but my voice is just not good enough. Sigh. So I gave up on that and passed the part along to someone else. Before my students came we baked a cake, too. Then I taught, then took him to karate and watched the class for a change, then came home and made dinner, which was brown rice, stir-fried veggies, and Trader Joe’s Hawaiian Beef, yummy! Plus cake for after of course :)
Dan and I started watching Survivor Thailand last night so tonight we get to watch the second episode. It’s wonderfully soothing bedtime television.
