The one who didn't go to the fair... He is so angry about it he just jumped into the car and drove off to Texas. It's going to be pretty hard, living around here without a car while Lynxton galavants all about Galveston, Houston, Dallas and Ramon in our Ford Escape.

As I have written before, about a week ago Caleb moved out of the house and into an apartment with Monica. For the first time since Jacob was born on December 5, 1974, this left Margie and me living in a house all by ourselves. We are now "empty nesters." And yet, somehow, the nest does not feel all that empty.
"A little birdie landed in it," Margie explains.

He sent his mom home alone. He decided to stay with us for the night. So the plan has changed - instead of me driving Margie into town tomorrow so she can babysit Lynx. I am going to drive into Anchorage by myself. Lynxston will stay here to keep an eye on his grandma, and I will ride the train from Anchorage with the other four and will live-blog my grandsons four hours at the fair with my iPhone.
Then, somehow, before I leave home again I must take Margie to the fair, just her and me. It is a tradition with us. The fair is where we eat our most expensive meal of the year. When we walk about the fair eating unhealthy food, we know summer has reached its end. Except the cob of corn. We always get a cob of corn each. Corn is healthy.

Lynxton just showed up with his mother driving his new used car for him. We are taking it on a test drive to get some coffee.

I have to work my way through a wild grandkid to get to her.
