Camp called! Yikes! But it was good: the woman from T.’s camp read me an absolutely beautiful statement from the cabin counselors about my son. It sounds very like him (lots of questions, trying to get everyone else to obey the rules as well as diligently trying to follow them all himself) but the way they worded it, and the fact they picked up on his kindness (which can sometimes be hard to remember, when feeling frazzled by answering so so so many questions) was absolutely beautiful. He’s having a good time, which is fantastic.
Today is _much_ cooler than the previous two days.
I got the phone call while on my walk with M.
While we were hanging out after the walk, I read today’s Carolyn Hax column:

I am, of course, pro-spoiler. But I have to say, that anyone who agrees with the person quoted (that “That book was really wild! I think you’re going to like it!” Is on any level a spoiler) has taken this thing so far that they’ve left the realm of Can We Even Talk as Book People. Hax was much nicer about the whole thing than I would have been; I pretty much went straight to, dump him now, rather than later.
Really. “I think you’re going to like it” as a spoiler just defies belief.
I’m hugely enjoying my reread of the Hidden Legacy Trilogy. The foreshadowing of
HEY THERE ARE SOME GENUINELY HUGE FUCKING SPOILERS RIGHT HERE
the siblings’ powers starts _way_ sooner than I had realized, and is much more detailed. This is why I love rereading things after I know how they turn out. Details like that really pop. I had noticed a fair amount of the foreshadowing of Nevada’s powers and how Connor figures out a lot of them very quickly, very early on. But the foreshadowing embedded in the ice mage’s attack on the highway overpass and its aftermath is particularly epic.
