Day 13

  1. Preston adores me and looks up to me. He cried – wept – when it was time to leave. Said he was glad Cherry met Daddy Jim because he wouldn’t know me otherwise. Playing Magic 8-Ball with the Cozmo robot I gave him for Christmas, asked where there was anyone in the world smarter than Uncle David. I’m pretty crazy about him too.
  2. The half hour or so Preston sat in the arm of my chair while I stepped him through some starting JavaScript:
var apples = 2;
if (apples == 2) {
alert('YOU GOT IT MAN')
} else {
alert('YOU LIE!')
}
  1. I am able to enjoy that.
  2. The crispness of the stars on this cold, cold night.
  3. Pulled pork sandwiches and baked beans. If I’m going to eat a slaughtered animal I must, at least, express my profound gratitude for its sacrifice.

Many thanks,

Me
