Tomorrow Night's BIG EVENT

Tomorrow is the Eagle Dinner Court of Honor, where Frankie and five other boys from our troop will be awarded the highest honor in scouting -- the rank of Eagle Scout. It's a big deal, bigger for me than high school graduation because way fewer people get there, and also more complicated because I won't have anything to do with running high school graduation. So I'm a little freaked.

We planted some lovely plants for centerpieces yesterday, and last week we stapled 75 books together, and today I have to pick up the last things from the store, and bake a cake for Frankie, and listen to the speech he better have finished, and make sure he gets a haircut. And clean the house because my parents are coming down and staying over.

I'll be posting photos after the big event, but I won't be writing anything new until then. Talk to ya tomorrow night!
