"I know whose car that is!" Kerry deduces that a family friend's child must be at a sleep-over in the neighborhood we're running through. McLean HS + Langley HS relationships among kids result at times in a near-Shakespearean parental rivalry just like Montagues vs Capulets. Meanwhile Xmas lights shimmer in peace. A green and red blanket-matrix covers an entire lawn and house-front. "Hope they left enough space to open the door!" (The grid turns out to be from a laser-projector in the front yard.)

Kristin leads the charge while we meander, catching up on news and sharing plans. Venus and Jupiter glimmer faintly through the clouds. As we finish a pastel dawn begins, salmon-orange and robin-egg-blue glowing - ah! - low in the east.
