Happy 1st birthday, Aiden! Welcome to Ethan, Ehlana, and Naomi’s
exclusive little Magi club.
Here we go with another moment that will only ever be known
about by a very few people, but is way more important than the top news around
town – or even in the country. Since
nearly everyone is watching Hurricane Sandy hitting the east coast tonight;
that’s a fairly audacious claim; but if you’re reading this far enough into the
future, you know for sure that I’m right.
Before I get on with the rest of the recap, Hurricane Sandy
is something that Mom, Aunt Leanne, and Miranda are keeping a close eye on; and
they’ll be ready to help out where they can through our charities. I don’t really have anything to handle for
that with my end of the family business, but if this storm ends up being as bad
as it could be; that might change. The
timing this close to Halloween has earned Sandy
the nickname ‘Frankenstorm’. If it lives
up to that name, I just hope everyone in its path will be safe over the next
few days.
Now that I think about that, the Hathornes are right in the
middle of the storm. If things get too
bad for them, I’m sure they’ll just put up a shield around their estate or
something. If Corwyn was still in
charge, he’d probably have tried to nudge the storm up a notch or two and cause
as much havoc as possible.
Compared to Frankenstorms, my day has been fairly
quiet. We mostly just played at school,
though there were some actual lessons baked into the fun. It’s no surprise that Halloween and sports
were the two top topics among the kids and teens; though a Hurricane hitting New York City was
exciting enough to earn some attention.
Ethan, Ehlana, and Naomi had a more entertaining day while I was at
school. Naomi was still hanging out at
our house when Rowen and I got home, so after doing the snack and recap with
Mom, and our homework; we took all three kids to the park. Watching my friends going temporarily insane
around boys may be weird, but it was cute watching Naomi while Ethan was having
his weekly football moment with Michael.
She and Ehlana also managed to charm every girl hanging out around the
bleachers before we moved on to the playground for some slide and swing action.
Naomi’s Dad was already at the house to pick her up when we
got back; and he ended up giving Rowen a lift over to the computer store on his
way home. I helped Mom with making
dinner after that while Ethan and Ehlana supervised and played on their
iPads. Now that would make for a cool
YouTube video; but wouldn’t be a good idea – especially if the camera caught
the kind of things they were doing on them.
It’s been a standard Monday night since then. Dinner; clean-up; Magi Healing lesson with
Mom and Uncle Adam; family business time for Mom and Aunt Leanne; and my usual
nightly computing and studies. I don’t
plan on staying up late tomorrow night, and Halloween night is a write-off; so
I worked a bit later tonight. I’ve had enough
now, and don’t have anything else to add to tonight’s report, so...
...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
