The crowds gather

While it might be easier to write about the Brexit-caused lack of chemicals in England causing raw sewage to be poured into rivers and the sea, I was today in too foul a temper to think of anything that might cause the blood pressure to rise. Instead, I took Ottawacker Jr. to school and waved him farewell, like a gladiator going into the arena to face the lions. 

Fortunately, he seems to be loving it. The school, that is, not the lions. It's just me that sits and suffers. But isn't that the way of all parenthood?
