henry's school in washington is cancelled today because of ice. i'd like to think that they decided to close for a day to honor henry. strangley it is a lot warmer, nicer here in minneapolis. i just looked out over the mississippi and there is a thick fog. henry would have said, "it's smokey out today."

jack wants to blow off school and his field trip. that's probably a good idea. i think i'll take him to go buy a jacket and tie today.
