Thing One’s summer takes flight

by HML

Not long after this photo was taken, Thing One boarded a flight to Albuquerque, where he will spend the night with one of his friends from last year’s Philmont mountain trek.  Saturday morning he begins his NAYLE course at Philmont, which we’ll describe in greater detail when he returns.

If Thing One were here, he’d like to point out that he’s just about Gimlet height.  (And as much as we like Alaska Airlines, they don’t offer a nonstop flight to Albuquerque.)

We hope he takes plenty of photos and has many stories to share from his week.  Meanwhile, we will do our best to keep Thing Two from appropriating all of the cool stuff in Thing One’s room that Thing Two would like to have for himself.
