Today was warm and sunny, and after a swim at the beach (for Kai) and a
shower (for both of us) we went to our little park so he could finish
drying off. I was reading; he disappeared into the bushes; and when I
turned around on the bench to look, he was staring at this
gray-and-black-striped cat. He stood stock-still like this for the
better part of five minutes. Finally I moved, the cat moved, and Kai
watched it walk away. (He wanted to play with it, but I told him he
couldn’t.) — Phil
