Clare's Dad

Since I’ve hit year four with this blog and got picked up for a fifth season, I suppose that I should actually post something new. Because I have little creative energy left outside of work, I’ll go with the obvious back-to-school post.

After a ridculously short, cold and wet summer (despite three vacations since May), Clare headed back to school two weeks ago. Clare’s Mom and I thought about encouraging her to take a year off to find herself, but until she can get a job that’s not really a practical idea. Plus she needs third grade—she’d  be no use to us until she can multiply and spell a few more two-syllable words. (If you’re reading this, Clare, I hope you know I’m kidding…nobody really cares about spelling anymore.)

So here are the obligatory photos. And now we have only about 170 school days left until summer. Maybe I’ll post again next May.
