I can't help it, I'm so proud and I've just gotta share this. Got
home from errands this morning and found a message on the machine
from our son's principal (Buddy is 8 now and in 3rd grade). My first
thought was "uh-oh", but it was good news.

Over the summer, the principal challenged the kids to read for at
least 25 hours (they kept logs); their reward was to be a root beer
float. Well, it seems that Buddy's log was soooo good (37 hours),
they want to give him and another child a pizza party, and needed
parental permission (naturally I said "yes")...
