Graham's freshman spring break is drawing to a close, and it has been a good one. It has been more or less an organic extension of both UNC and high school. Tuesday night he got together a crew to go to Linda's for Trivia Night, where they came in 2nd because they failed to listen to important facets of the big question on which they wagered a bunch of their points ("Name the 10 highest towers in the USA that are not residential or office buildings"). Whoops. Friday he went to a party at a friend's house up near Hillsborough. One other night he and some buds went out for burgers. This weekend he has been up in Wake County cheering on the ECHHS Eastbots at a robotics competition. In short, we didn't see all that much of him, which is totally fine and developmentally appropriate. Unlike what we did to our parents, we weren't worried about his driving drunk or otherwise getting in trouble.
We were able to sneak in a couple of movies, Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel (typical Wes Anderson silliness) and the 1973 Day of the Jackal, which was very dated. In general, it was just good to have some quality time on the couch up under the blanket with our cat Rascal up on the back of the couch with us.
We also sampled a newish dessert from Trader Joe's: the peanut butter Brookie, which we judged inferior to the original chocolate chip Brookie, and we also ate some of our favorite meals, including niangao (this time with chicken instead of pork) and some pork rice noodles. All in all, a fine week.
