Are there bears?

Hey, Kat!

How about those dolmas, yesterday?! The little burritos? I think we should Zorba's again, and see what you think. And, I think that hummus is going to start to grow on you. Well, not literally grow on you, like a fungus or something, but that you're going to start to like it.

Plus, who can resist those smoothies?

Anyway, if we don't go there, they'll probably close. So, we're doing our part for local businesses!

When Gabe was going to sleep last night, he asked "Dad, are there bears?"

I said, "What, here? No."

He said, "No, in real life."

I said, "Yes, there are bears."

He got scared, and so I had to add, "...but not here. In the forest."

So he said, "Oh, then let's not go there."

What in the world?

I hope you and mom had a good time last night. You and I will have to go shopping for your performance dress this afternoon before we pick up Gabe, and then maybe Miss Carrie will help us put the aquarium together tonight. Then, we'd be ready to look into getting some fish when you come back from Alice.

I'll talk to you soon,

Your favorite dad.
