The report from Colorado positive. Eitan and Madeleine solo with Stan, enjoying football camp on the mesa, and generally being (i) spoiled and (ii) bored (Eitan). Madeleine relieved to know that Eric and Nelson (the turtles) are doing well. Sadly Stig the goldfish goes belly up (some tears from our intrepid pet owner) . Madeleine finishes 'The Diary of Anne Frank' and 'Lord of the Flies'; Eitan reads 'Lonesome Dove' (Eitan to Sonnet:
"Mom, what's a whore?" Sonnet to me:
"Nice one, Jeff")
Me:
"Are you two getting along?"
Madeleine, Eitan:
"No. Maybe."
Madeleine:
"Eitan came in to my room to steal my stuff."
Eitan:
"You said I could have those things . .. "
Madeleine:
"Did not. And besides, it was while I was sleeping."
Me:
"Good to see you kids enjoying yourself."
Eitan, Madeleine:
Me:
"No doubt about it."
Eitan:
"Yep."
