YG just got her middle school assignment for the coming year: it's her top choice, Presidio. The trip (two buses, 45 minutes) is grueling, but it's a swell school, and the school she wanted. The letter came in while she and I were on a street corner selling cookies (of course), but Spouse called to give her the news, and she danced and sang and capered and shrieked (with what effect on cookie sales, who knows? We sold 150 boxes...). So we're having Chinese food to celebrate, and even the dog seems pleased.
