That's the final number of boxes of Girl Scout cookies Avocado sold. That includes her share of sales at the Westfield Mall on Saturday, and of sales at the Roller Derby she sold at last week, plus the "Gift of Caring" certificates which will send 36 boxes of cookies to food banks, the military, or the Red Cross. The saintly Ms. Nancy, the troop leader, is downstairs in our garage taking in money and squaring accounts with the parents of all her sellers.

Friday night a bunch of Scouts (and parents) will get on a bus to Disneyland: sleep on the bus, Disney all day, sleep on the return trip. Fortunately Avocado is going with friends among her troop, and Mama is staying home. Not that I don't love Disneyland; I don't love sleeping on buses.
