Pain is not good, and if something is going on it is best to head it off in the beginning rather than to let it wait.

It sounds as if Max had fun. I still have to do a double take when you mention big boy stuff for Max. I still think of Maya and Max as little ones when I first see their names.

LOL at your suggestion on how to use a latrine. It may keep you from smelling it, but you will TASTE it the rest of the day.

So glad that you can get out in the sun. I need it but it is still near 100F here at night. So humid it is like a sauna. I just can't get out there much.
