yesterday was olivia's and mom's birthday (olivia:14, mom:46). olivia asked her best friend (and dave's girlfriend) emmy to spend the night, and around 11:30 as i was going to go to bed, olivia pokes her head in and says "raaaaaaaaaafe? we need someone to play hearts with us." so eight hours later we're walking through the park, we've not slept all night, and olivia does her first illegal thing of her veritable teenage-hood: i helped her trespass (emmy waited) onto the roof of the high-school's pump building to watch the sun rise over the Procter and Gamble factories...and then i'm cooking - "vou voudrais un omlette du fromage?" to emmy - olivia wants cofffe and me, i'm for egg on toast with some sausage and black (blackest) coffee. and the cinnamon rolls that we made. and then we sat on the side porch and talked. they mocked my voice, which gets very low in the mornings. good times, good times.
