Today Daniel went to visit his new teacher and his new classroom. He starts kindergarten on Tuesday. Finally my last child is in school, just months after my first child graduated. Strange feeling.
Daniel got to go on a bus ride, though it wasn't his first; he's been riding to field trips with the Wolfeboro Children's Center for a couple of years now.
Otherwise it was a mostly unproductive day. Karen and I had breakfast with Thomas and Julia, waited in the library for the kindergarten open house, took Karen's car in for repairs, and had an early dinner in town with the boys at the park. I did get to pull a little bit of video, phone, and data cable, but that was about it. And we're heading north for the day tomorrow, so getting things done will have to be left to the weekend. Fortunately, getting ready for the insulation won't be that hard; just need to get the low-voltage wire pulled, caulk the windows, attach some missing hurricane clips to the rafters, and make sure the outer wall are clear of tools and other clutter.
Last night was very frustrating. Just as Karen was settling down to relax in front of the TV, and I was washing dishes, copying some discs, and transferring some of my old videotapes to DVD, the power went out. Apparently there was a "pole accident" on Route 16, some fifteen miles away. But from that point in Milton, there is only one line the runs through Middleton and Brookfield to us. So much for multitasking. We spent the remaining time reading (I was studying my lines for Oklahoma!), which was nice but not what we wanted from the evening. The lights came on about 11:30, just as we were really getting to sleep. Figures.
