Earlier this month I mentioned that Dominique was moving down to Atlanta. He has been down there since then and seems to be doing well. Big Brothers Big Sisters wanted me to get matched up with another kid, but I think even one kid is demanding enough for us. Besides, this move may not last forever, and Dominique could be back in KC at some point in the future.
Anyway, we hung out with Bianca last night. I got home after work and found her and Kim doing some science experiments in the kitchen. I finished making the dinner that they started while they cleaned up from an incident involving vinegar and baking soda. We ate dinner very fast and then head off to Bianca’s school for the Blue Jay Fair, basically an open house. The school was much nicer than I was expecting, and Bianca’s teachers were mostly young and energetic. Previously I assumed that the teachers likely didn’t care much about the students or their education, but I was definitely proven wrong. The kids’ poor grades must be due to their lack of interest and effort. I wish I could find a way to convince them that it’s for their own good.

[...] I think I’ve neglected to mention it before but Dominique, my little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters, is back in Kansas City. If you recall from months ago, Dominique went to live with his grandmother in Atlanta for a few months. He has been back for a month or so and we’ve seen him twice since then. The first time we went fishing at a nearby lake. We didn’t catch anything but we did get a few bites here and there. I guess fish do like beef jerky after all. [...]
