A Son Returns Home

It's been 9 months since Josh was home...in Austin.  He loves it here and hasn't complained once about not having parents in Park Slope.  He does go back to Brooklyn to see friends but "home" now for the Moskowitz clan is Austin, Texas.  We'll all 4 be together for the first time in a year.  The day was spent baking deep dish brownies, shopping at Central Market for all of his favorites, making up the futon, Abe clearing his papers off of the futon, and driving Liz to a job interview and a meeting.  While Austin is hot neither of the kids complain.  They grew up without a.c. and NY summers were hot!  They bike all over (he's coming in time for Social Biking) and he and Abe will hit the tennis courts early in the a.m.  I guess we're lucky.  These kids grew up in a city without privilege and  behave that way...without privilege.  The plane lands at midnight.  We'll be there.
