Yesterday was the party. Quite a to-do in the park, magician and everything. I was just going to drop kids off and head home, but Gretchen and Tara and Valerie were there and I realized I hadn't really seen much of anybody lately. So I stayed and had a nice time.
Jake, as always, asked me about conversation. Anything interesting?
I shook my head. No. Just more layers built up of everyday stuff.
Although there was one thing. Gretchen her husband Nick, and I stood over on one side in the sun, trying in vain to stay warm. We were watching the magician get started and Gretchen broke the silence: "I would hate for that to be my job."
I agreed, "I would probably drink a lot."
Then I imagined going to bars and introducing myself and what I did for a living. I'd be drinking alone.
But he seemed to handle it pretty well. It takes all kinds.

"Just more layers built up of everyday stuff." I love this line.
