When we moved across town to the house on Bonnie Brae, things went upside down. A lot better neighborhood, but not much could compensate for Lincoln Middle School. It was a nightmare. Some of the teachers out of a Dicken's novel, some of the kids and gangs not yet in reform school. It was a special kind of hell. So took a semester to home school you, and maybe I was your worst nightmare. Think I got more out of it than you. But we both cried a lot.
Anyway, that was the end of the line for the great quasi American happy bubble. There were moments though that were good. Neighborhood hijinks with Lauren & Greg, wild videos with Chris. And more. There were some fun highlights. So many lowlights. Would we ever see that amazing smile again?
