Absolutely Normal Chaos (20 page)

I’m sure by now you can imagine all these people clumped together at Windy Rock and you can imagine Mrs. Cheevey darting all around and Beth Ann talking her head off and my brothers climbing trees and me and Alex sneaking off for one little kiss (well, heck!). So I don’t have to write all that down.

I just want to say one more time that Carl Ray is okay!

I was trying to remember how Homer finished off the
Odyssey
, so I just read the ending again. It’s a little corny, with Athene telling everyone to make peace, but I can’t think of a better ending.

Sigh.

Summer’s over.

Alpha and Omega!!
