Maya’s cousin Johnnie surprised her today when he picked her up at school in his father’s Solstice. Apparently, Maya had mentioned to him how cool it would be never imagining that he would actually do it. We are very fortunate to have at least one cousin so close by and we are always happy when Johnnie takes a break from his studies at Babson to come for a visit. It is not entirely clear to me why Johnnie has his father’s car (his parents live in upstate NY) but I wish to dash all expectations that my children may foster that they will receive similar high-performance car loaners.
