in fact K got up at 8:30 with the show opening at 9:30. I checked the

I decided to send Katherine into school today. I hope it wasn't
foolhardy with this heat. The school took what happened on Monday really
seriously - we had a conversation between me, her teacher, the
headmistress and the school secretary about what I wanted done if it

Hey Guys,
