The gang got together here last weekend.
Looking back at the pictures of them from just a year ago, the mind boggles at how much they've grown.
Thing One's friend M, back from his first year at MSSM, has really gelled as a person, it seems; another friend, T, is headed there in the fall to finish out the rest of his high school career.
They're all physically much bigger than I am.
They all have jobs.
But get them all together on a beastly hot day and they play Frisbee and soccer and capture the flag (with the sprinkler running at midfield) and have a campfire with S'mores and swing on the swings and go swimming in the lake with [most of] their clothes on and eat a shocking amount of food.
Monday morning we deposited Thing One on the schooner and we'll see him probably one night a week between now and mid-August.
Dammit.
