In the morning I blocked
up the roof of the Cow stable
hay stable, kitchen at the
log house and the kitchen
at the Huse house.
In the afternoon papa
and I came back to the
ranch and went duck
hunting. Papa kild three
golden eyes.

Watt took Tucker to morning soccer, and left him after with Sam for the day's adventure at Navy Pier. Jake's game was later, after lunch. Still bitter cold. Gus and I laid low and practiced using vocabulary in sentences. Gus moved from surly resistance to a winning wit, weaving all his sentences through the theme of freshly-coined superhero "Pirhana Man" and his only friend "Pariah Guy". Had me rolling on the floor. Tucker didn't get home till after nine, by which time I was a nervous-wreck from expecting him back by dark.
