Marcy has a day of many spilled items, and writes about laundry and about human reactions to surprises and Halloween costumes, among other things. “part of me loves to be angry. Adrenalin all stirred up, emotions at a high pitch, real, real feelings, alert, senses keyed up[…]. It really feels good to be functioning at this level — all systems go, just almost maximum but no overload, and afterwards an almost post-sexual feeling of good will and contentment.”
A couple of thank-you notes and general life updates. “Life goes on here in the usual hurry-up-&-wait fashion, lurching from (minor) crisis to (near) catastrophe.”
Another piece of kid art. “Somebody was sliding up here, up the hill”

A note accompanying a birthday gift.
Another piece of kid art about a “fish trap.”
Marcy discusses arrangements for George and Helen to visit. “There will be plenty of room for you to stay here no matter how many kids we we have, as they all love to sleep on the floor, especially when they have friends visiting. They think it’s a great adventure.”
Jay has a birthday party, and other life updates. “[Mark would] prefer Cap’n Sugar Krispy Baddies if I’d buy that kind of stuff.”
A list of presents that George and Helen were sending us, for my birthday.
In which I like Star Trek and I have four foster brothers. Also: “I HAVE A NEW CHESS SET[…]. I‘M NOT BRAGGING ABOUT IT”
