Potatoes in the Mist

Zoe and I had strawberry Nutella crepes in Central Park today...

I finished The Stars Are Fire by Anita Shreve...very good.

I went on a field trip with Zoe's class today. At the butterfly conservatory, one of the butterflies decided to adopt me.

Trump removed Bannon from the National Security Council. This is definitely good news. Bannon was a bad influence on him.

One day, when I picked Zoe up from school, she told me, "Today was the best day ever. We went to Gristedes as a class. We got popsicles and ate them in the park. Then we played in the park." I really like her class. The kids are sweet, though they keep getting lice. Zoe has escaped it so far. I've already found "Hair Fairies" online, where they take care of it for you. And I cut her hair shorter recently, which makes it easier to take care of, and also looks cute. I looked into other lice solutions. Apparently, using an ordinary hair dryer will kill 97% percent of them. Also, you can coat the child's hair with Cetaphil (a facial cleanser that I have), then blow dry the hair, then shampoo it 8 hours later. Apparently doing this once a week for 3 weeks will take care of it, and you don't even need to remove the nits. Although Hair Fairies is probably easier.

Another music discovery - case/lang/viers. iTunes recommended them to me because I was listening to Aimee Mann's new music. It's uncanny how "on" these recommendations are sometimes.
