7/8 Flight back. We arrive in a New York City that is bathed in gushing heat. I must remind myself that for the kids this is nowhere near as natural an arrival as it is for me. As we come home, they get their new, far more powerful laptops, which they desperately needed and which we awarded them since they have been taking good care of the ones they got two years ago. They try out games and break into oohs and aahs over the unbelievable resolution and frame rate. It feels like Christmas in July as J and I watch them.
