Separated in Seattle - [18th Week pregnant]

In Seattle, I spend a day and a half with a close friend Amy, and her three-year old, Megan.

Amy and my friend David have separated only a few weeks ago. Better earlier than later for a child to adjust to divorce, I suppose.

I play with Megan in her room and in the park, teaching her to be more theatrical.

A week after I leave, Amy writes,
"Megan keeps saying, "Ladies and gentlemen ... WELCOME TO THE SHOW!"

Today we received an e-mail from a student of mine who just had a baby.
Megan looked at the pix and asked, "Is that Uncle [Pad Dad]'s new baby?!!"

I keep thinking about this little girl, and her two new rooms in different flats.
