Our son reported that his voice has shifted from "soprano" to "tenor," according to something that happened at school. I believe it. His voice has been going down, the top of his head has been going up, at an almost visible rate recently. His fingers are longer than mine: He measured his against mine recently.
#1 daughter was over for most of the day, getting books organized in the attic. I’ve been helping: mostly in an advisory capacity.
#2 daughter had a long talk with my wife today. Twice, I think. I gather that she and a young man she's been corresponding with experienced a change in their relationship.
One possibility is that he found out what the weather in Minnesota is really like.
I'm sure that other things happened today, but all I remember at the moment is that our son and I read Garfield again, before bedtime.

Monday: Swahili Song and Catholic Singles
Our son told me that he likes a song that the school choir is singing "Wakati Wa Amani" - I think that's close to the spelling. He explained that it means "Time of Peace" in Swahili. I hope I'll have a chance to hear that.
My wife's gotten started on re-painting the living room. She, our son, and #3 daughter got primer on about six feet of the wall. I knew she wanted to paint the wall some time: but hadn't expected the project to start this soon.
We got a call from #1 daughter last night: at about twenty minutes to midnight. Happily, I caught the phone before anyone got rousted out of bed. She was excited about a young man she met on avemariasingles.com, a website "for marriage-minded Catholic singles." She and #2 daughter signed up with the service recently, and have encountered some young men who look promising - and some that don't. It seems to be a very good system. The only down side, from my point of view, are the calls this household gets at odd hours, from our two oldest kids.
#1 daughter called again, at about 7:30 this morning. My wife reports that #1 daughter hadn't gotten much sleep last night.
