A second later, there was a knock on my door and a booming voice. 'Alexandria?'
Seth stilled above me, panting. 'You have got to be freaking kidding me.'
Leon knocked again. [...] 'Lucian is requesting your presence immediately.' Another gap of silence followed. 'He is also requesting to see you, Seth.'
Seth frowned as the gleam in his eyes faded. 'How in the world does he know I'm in here?'
'Leon...just knows.' I pushed at him weakly. 'Get off.'

I was also sick of my neighbors, as most Parisians are. I now knew every second of the morning routine of the family upstairs. At 7:00 am alarm goes off, boom, Madame gets out of bed, puts on her deep-sea divers’ boots, and stomps across my ceiling to megaphone the kids awake. The kids drop bags of cannonballs onto the floor, then, apparently dragging several sledgehammers each, stampede into the kitchen. They grab their chunks of baguette and go and sit in front of the TV, which is always showing a cartoon about people who do nothing but scream at each other and explode. Every minute, one of the kids cartwheels (while bouncing cannonballs) back into the kitchen for seconds, then returns (bringing with it a family of excitable kangaroos) to the TV. Meanwhile the toilet is flushed, on average, fifty times per drop of urine expelled. Finally, there is a ten-minute period of intensive yelling, and at 8:15 on the dot they all howl and crash their way out of the apartment to school.” (p.137)

Most people of my grandparents' generation had an intuitive sense of agricultural basics ... This knowledge has vanished from our culture.
We also have largely convinced ourselves it wasn't too important. Consider how many Americans might respond to a proposal that agriculture was to become a mandatory subject in all schools ... A fair number of parents would get hot under the collar to see their kids' attention being pulled away from the essentials of grammar, the all-important trigonometry, to make room for down-on-the-farm stuff. The baby boom psyche embraces a powerful presumption that education is a key to moving away from manual labor and dirt--two undeniable ingredients of farming. It's good enough for us that somebody, somewhere, knows food production well enough to serve the rest of us with all we need to eat, each day of our lives.

Within a couple of weeks of starting the Ph.D. program, though, she discovered that she'd booked passage on a sinking ship. There aren't any jobs, the other students informed her; the profession's glutted with tenured old men who won't step aside for the next generation. While the university's busy exploiting you for cheap labor, you somehow have to produce a boring thesis that no one will read, and find someone willing to publish it as a book. And then, if you're unsually talented and extraordinarily lucky, you just might be able to secure a one-year, nonrenewable appointment teaching remedial composition to football players in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, the Internet's booming, and the kids we gave C pluses to are waltzing out of college and getting rich on stock options while we bust our asses for a pathetic stipend that doesn't even cover the rent.

“Um, Aud, babe … I don’t think those kids zone out. They’re just freaky twenty-four-seven. It’s a year-round thing.” Gabe’s response drew a half-hearted laugh from me, but it was quickly reined in when I reached the Book of the Ancients.
“Whatever, Gabriel,” Audrey said to him. “My point is, it’s freaky, okay? She gets this glazed-over look in her eyes, like she’s gonna whip out a butcher knife and go all Michael Myers on us or something.”

A brick could be used to show you how to live a richer, fuller, more satisfying life. Don’t you want to have fulfillment and meaning saturating your existence? I can show you how you can achieve this and so much more with just a simple brick. For just $99.99—not even an even hundred bucks, I’ll send you my exclusive life philosophy that’s built around a brick. Man’s used bricks to build houses for centuries. Now let one man, me, show you how a brick can be used to build your life up bigger and stronger than you ever imagined. But act now, because supplies are limited. This amazing offer won’t last forever. You don’t want to wake up in ten years to find yourself divorced, homeless, and missing your testicles because you waited even two hours too long to obtain this information. Become a hero today—save your life. Procrastination is only for the painful things in life. We prolong the boring, but why put off for tomorrow the exciting life you could be living today? If you’re not satisfied with the information I’m providing, I’m willing to offer you a no money back guarantee. That’s right, you read that wrong. If you are not 100% dissatisfied with my product, I’ll give you your money back. For $99.99 I’m offering 99.99%, but you’ve got to be willing to penny up that percentage to 100. Why delay? The life you really want is mine, and I’m willing to give it to you—for a price. That price is a one-time fee of $99.99, which of course everyone can afford—even if they can’t afford it. Homeless people can’t afford it, but they’re the people who need my product the most. Buy my product, or face the fact that in all probability you are going to end up homeless and sexless and unloved and filthy and stinky and probably even disabled, if not physically than certainly mentally. I don’t care if your testicles taste like peanut butter—if you don’t buy my product, even a dog won’t lick your balls you miserable cur. I curse you! God damn it, what are you, slow? Pay me my money so I can show you the path to true wealth. Don’t you want to be rich? Everything takes money—your marriage, your mortgage, and even prostitutes. I can show you the path to prostitution—and it starts by ignoring my pleas to help you. I’m not the bad guy here. I just want to help. You have some serious trust issues, my friend. I have the chance to earn your trust, and all it’s going to cost you is a measly $99.99. Would it help you to trust me if I told you that I trust you? Well, I do. Sure, I trust you. I trust you to make the smart decision for your life and order my product today. Don’t sleep on this decision, because you’ll only wake up in eight hours to find yourself living in a miserable future. And the future indeed looks bleak, my friend. War, famine, children forced to pimp out their parents just to feed the dog. Is this the kind of tomorrow you’d like to live in today? I can show you how to provide enough dog food to feed your grandpa for decades. In the future I’m offering you, your wife isn’t a whore that you sell for a knife swipe of peanut butter because you’re so hungry you actually considered eating your children. Become a hero—and save your kids’ lives. Your wife doesn’t want to spread her legs for strangers. Or maybe she does, and that was a bad example. Still, the principle stands. But you won’t be standing—in the future. Remember, you’ll be confined to a wheelchair. Mushrooms are for pizzas, not clouds, but without me, your life will atom bomb into oblivion. Nobody’s dropping a bomb while I’m around. The only thing I’m dropping is the price. Boom! I just lowered the price for you, just to show you that you are a valued customer. As a VIP, your new price on my product is just $99.96. That’s a savings of over two pennies (three, to be precise). And I’ll even throw in a jar of peanut butter for free. That’s a value of over $.99. But wait, there’s more! If you call within the next ten minutes, I’ll even throw in a blanket free of charge. . .

There were, inevitably, children’s clothing stores, furniture shops still offering bedroom sets by layaway, and dollar stores whose awnings teemed with suspended inflatable dolls, beach chairs, laundry carts, and other impulse purchases a mom might make on a Saturday afternoon, exhausted by errand running with her kids. There was the sneaker store where Olga used to buy her cute kicks, the fruit store Prieto had worked at in high school, the little storefront that sold the kind of old-lady bras Abuelita used to wear. On the sidewalks, the Mexican women began to set up their snack stands. Mango with lime and chili on this corner, tamales on that. Until the Mexicans had come to Sunset Park, Olga had never tried any of this food, and now she always tried to leave a little room to grab a snack on her way home. Despite the relatively early hour, most of the shops were open, music blasting into the streets, granting the avenue the aura of a party. In a few more hours, cars with their stereos pumping, teens with boom boxes en route to the neighborhood’s public pool, and laughing children darting in front of their mothers would add to the cacophony that Olga had grown to think of as the sound of a Saturday.

After Josh leaves and Kitty goes upstairs to watch TV, I’m tidying up the living room and Peter’s sprawled out on the couch watching me. I keep thinking he’s about to leave, but then he keeps lingering.
Out of nowhere he says, “Remember back at Halloween how you were Cho Chang and Sanderson was Harry Potter? I bet you that wasn’t a coincidence. I bet you a million bucks he got Kitty to find out what your costume was and then he ran out and bought a Harry Potter costume. The kid is into you.”
I freeze. “No, he isn’t. He loves my sister. He always has and he always will.”
Peter waves this off. “Just you wait. As soon as you and I are done, he’s gonna pull some cheesy-ass move and, like, profess his love for you with a boom box. I’m telling you, I know how guys think.”
I yank away the pillow he’s got cushioning his bac and put it on the recliner. “My sister will be home for winter break soon. I bet you a million dollars they get back together.”
Peter holds his hand out for me to shake on it, and when I take it, he pulls me onto the couch next to him. Our legs touch. He has a mischievous glint in his eye, and I think maybe he’s going to kiss me, and I’m scared, but I’m excited, too. But then I hear Kitty’s footsteps coming down the stairs, and the moment’s over.

PANOTII LOOKS PUT OUT ABOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND AND dogs my steps as I stow his tack under the deep overhang on the south side of the wizard’s hovel. There’s plenty of grass here, water at the lake, and it’s not that cold yet, despite the shift in seasons. If the rains start before we get back, the horses can take shelter under the overhang. I’m not worried about them wandering off. Not one of them has stepped outside of the large makeshift corral of God Bolt pits since we got here.
“You can’t come with us,” I tell him. “It’ll be cold and slippery. And big monsters will want to eat you.” He tosses his head, snorting. “Really big monsters. There might be Dragons. And the Hydra. And I can’t vouch for the friendliness of the Ipotane toward regular horses.” I blow gently into his nose. Panotii chuffs back. “You’ll be safe here, and if anyone tries to steal you, Grandpa Zeus will throw down a thunderbolt. Boom! No more horse thief.”
“Zeus may have better things to do than babysit our horses,” Flynn says, stowing his own equine gear next to mine.
I glance northward toward the Gods’ mountain home and speak loudly. “In that case, I’m announcing right now that I’ll make an Olympian stink if anything happens to my horse.” Flynn looks nervous and moves away from me like he’s expecting a God Bolt to come thundering down.
“She’s not kidding.” Sunlight glints off Griffin’s windblown hair. Thick black stubble darkens his jaw. He flashes me a smile that brings out the slight hook in his nose, and something tightens in my belly.
I turn back to Panotii and scratch under his jaw. “You’re in charge here.” His enormous ears flick my way. “You keep the others in line.” Panotii nods. I swear to the Gods, my horse nods.
Brown Horse raises his head and pins me with a gimlet stare. I roll my eyes. “Fine. You can help. You’re both in charge.” Apparently satisfied, Griffin’s horse goes back to grazing, shearing the grass around him with neat, organized efficiency. Griffin and Brown Horse were made for each other.
Panotii shoves his nose into my shoulder, knocking me back a step. Taking a handful of his chestnut mane, I stretch up on my toes to whisper into one of his donkey ears. “Seriously, you’re in charge. I’ll bet you can even rhyme.”
Carver and Kato chuckle as they walk past. Griffin bands his arms around my waist from behind, surprising me. “I heard that.

Motherhood often feels like a game of guilt management. Sometimes the guilt is overwhelming and debilitating. Sometimes just a low simmer, but it always feels right there. There is never any shortage of fuel to feed the beast, so the whole mechanism is constantly nourished to administer shame and a general feeling of incompetency. Add our carefully curated social media world, which not only affects our sense of success and failure, but also furnishes our children with an unprecedented brand of expectations, and BOOM – we’re the generation that does more for our kids than ever in history, yet feels the guiltiest. Virtually every one of my friends provides more than they had growing up, and still the mantra we buy into is ‘not enough, not enough, not enough.’ Meanwhile, if we developed the chops to tune out the ordinary complaints of children, we’d see mostly happy kids, loved and nurtured, cared for and treasured.

We took the kids to see Chris’s body the next day.
He’d been cleaned up a lot. Leanne had suggested that we have a photo book with pictures of Chris; it was a brilliant idea, a way of putting their good-byes in a better, if not exactly happy, context.
Before going in, I told them they were going to see their father’s body without his soul. Their dad was now in heaven; all they were going to see was the body God had loaned him for this world.
How much comfort that was, I don’t know.
Bubba stood near him for a bit, then decided he was done. At some point he told me he didn’t like to cry. “It hurts too much when I cry.” Instead, he would run hard, play hard. The thing about grief is, we all do it in our own way, in our own time, kids included.
He went out with V and they sat together on a couch, looking at the book. Within a few moments I heard V’s deep voice boom; laughter echoed in the hall. Bubba was telling him stories about his father, reminding him and all of us who Chris really was.
Angel and I stayed with Chris.

It was evening of the following day when they entered San Diego. The expriest turned off to find them a doctor but the kid wandered on through the raw mud streets and out past the houses of hide in their rows and across the gravel strand to the beach.
Loose strands of ambercolored kelp lay in a rubbery wrack at the tideline. A dead seal. Beyond the inner bay part of a reef in a thin line like something foundered there on which the sea was teething. He squatted in the sand and watched the sun on the hammered face of the water. Out there island clouds emplaned upon a salmoncolored othersea. Seafowl in silhouette. Down-shore the dull surf boomed. There was a horse standing there staring out upon the darkening waters and a young colt that cavorted and trotted off and came back.
He sat watching while the sun dipped hissing in the swells. The horse stood darkly against the sky. The surf boomed in the dark and the sea’s black hide heaved in the cobbled starlight and the long pale combers loped out of the night and broke along the beach.
He rose and turned toward the lights of the town. The tidepools bright as smelterpots among the dark rocks where the phosphorescent seacrabs clambered back. Passing through the salt grass he looked back. The horse had not moved. A ship’s light winked in the swells. The colt stood against the horse with its head down and the horse was watching, out there past men’s knowing, where the stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea.

We put him to the test that afternoon after the Kid woke up. I piled every weapon we had into the wagon and trucked the arsenal halfway across the San Simon Valley. One by one I fired off a round from each of the borrowed weapons and wrote down the order in which I had sent the reports. When I returned at midafternoon, we compared my notes to the Kid’s. Jack had not once failed to identify gun make and model, caliber, and brand of ammunition. He was even able to tell whether I had fired off a report with my right or left hand. Lord knows how he did that.
I, of course, had to see it for myself. We sent Pate off to the South Pass of the Dragoons and he commenced to fire off rounds at dusk. BAM! came the first report, aborning to us from the distant mountains and then quickly disintegrating into the maw of the desert sky.
“Remington forty-four,” Jack said. “Eighteen sixty-nine model.” He sat on a rock with his hands splayed over his stumpy knees and his head cocked for the next selection.
POW!
Jack pursed his lips. “Colt’s Lightning . . . forty-one caliber . . . iv’ry grips.”
BOOM!
At this report Jack chuckled. “Well, first off . . . forty-five caliber Peacemaker, seven-and-a-half-inch barrel,” he announced proudly. Then he smiled. “That ol’ dodger Pate . . . he’s a slick one, tryin’ to pull one on me.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Along with the Colt he let go with a derringer, thirty-two caliber. Sounded like it ain’t been cleaned in a while.”
I sat down next to Jack and draped my arm over his rounded shoulders. “Jack, I believe you’ve given credence to the saying that every man on this earth serves a role.”

You smell good. Who’s this ‘guy’ you’re meeting?

We’d done that song and dance before, and there would be no encores on that score. “Doc Nyce is still my boyfriend,” I announced. Sheesh, “boyfriend” was such a silly word for a woman my age. “I mean, we’re a definite couple in all the ways.” Jeff grinned. “Which ways are those?” “You know, the ‘couple’ ways.” When he just stared at me with a dumb grin, I added, “Boom, boom, out goes the lights.” His laughter rang out loud and clear, catching the attention of people on the opposite side of the street. “I’m not sure if you know this, Violet Parker, but that old song actually refers to landing a knock-out punch.” Thinking back on all the times I’d pinched, elbowed, and tackled Doc, including the black eye I’d accidentally given him, I shrugged. “Sex with Doc is amazingly physical. He’s a real heavy hitter under the sheets, delivering a solid one-two sock-’em every time.” I wasn’t sure what I was alluding to by this point, but I kept throwing out boxing slang to fill the void. “I’d give you the real dirty blow-by-blow, but we don’t sell ringside tickets for our wild sex matches.” His jaw gaped. “No kidding?” Before my big mouth unleashed another round of idiotic sex-boxing ambiguities, I said, “See you around, Jeff.

ever. Amen. Thank God for self-help books. No wonder the business is booming. It reminds me of junior high school, where everybody was afraid of the really cool kids because they knew the latest, most potent putdowns, and were not afraid to use them. Dah! But there must be another reason that one of the best-selling books in the history of the world is Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray. Could it be that our culture is oh so eager for a quick fix? What a relief it must be for some people to think “Oh, that’s why we fight like cats and dogs, it is because he’s from Mars and I am from Venus. I thought it was just because we’re messed up in the head.” Can you imagine Calvin Consumer’s excitement and relief to get the video on “The Secret to her Sexual Satisfaction” with Dr. GraySpot, a picture chart, a big pointer, and an X marking the spot. Could that “G” be for “giggle” rather than Dr. “Graffenberg?” Perhaps we are always looking for the secret, the gold mine, the G-spot because we are afraid of the real G-word: Growth—and the energy it requires of us. I am worried that just becoming more educated or well-read is chopping at the leaves of ignorance but is not cutting at the roots. Take my own example: I used to be a lowly busboy at 12 East Restaurant in Florida. One Christmas Eve the manager fired me for eating on the job. As I slunk away I muttered under my breath, “Scrooge!” Years later, after obtaining a Masters Degree in Psychology and getting a California license to practice psychotherapy, I was fired by the clinical director of a psychiatric institute for being unorthodox. This time I knew just what to say. This time I was much more assertive and articulate. As I left I told the director “You obviously have a narcissistic pseudo-neurotic paranoia of anything that does not fit your myopic Procrustean paradigm.” Thank God for higher education. No wonder colleges are packed. What if there was a language designed not to put down or control each other, but nurture and release each other to grow? What if you could develop a consciousness of expressing your feelings and needs fully and completely without having any intention of blaming, attacking, intimidating, begging, punishing, coercing or disrespecting the other person? What if there was a language that kept us focused in the present, and prevented us from speaking like moralistic mini-gods? There is: The name of one such language is Nonviolent Communication. Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication provides a wealth of simple principles and effective techniques to maintain a laser focus on the human heart and innocent child within the other person, even when they have lost contact with that part of themselves. You know how it is when you are hurt or scared: suddenly you become cold and critical, or aloof and analytical. Would it not be wonderful if someone could see through the mask, and warmly meet your need for understanding or reassurance? What I am presenting are some tools for staying locked onto the other person’s humanness, even when they have become an alien monster. Remember that episode of Star Trek where Captain Kirk was turned into a Klingon, and Bones was freaking out? (I felt sorry for Bones because I’ve had friends turn into Cling-ons too.) But then Spock, in his cool, Vulcan way, performed a mind meld to determine that James T. Kirk was trapped inside the alien form. And finally Scotty was able to put some dilithium crystals into his phaser and destroy the alien cloaking device, freeing the captain from his Klingon form. Oh, how I wish that, in my youth or childhood,

So, instead, I matched him. I walked in acting as pissed off and angry as he was. In fact, I acted even angrier. I said, my voice booming, “What the hell is going on, Carter? I know that bastard of a kid is a ball hog! We’ve got to do something about it right now! Should we call the coach and get him thrown off the team?” Then he matched me, just like I knew he would. He became just as angry as he thought I was, and he said, “Yeah, let’s call the coach! Let’s get him thrown off the team!

Blue
I emerge from our yellow linoleum bathroom blue
at one end of our single-wide trailer
and I have the length of narrow hallway to consider
before reaching the living room blue
Blue!? And I know my mother is furious
You look ridiculous it’s all she says
and I do I had torn the pages from a magazine
lined my bedroom floor with them and studied
those punk rock spiked hair white teeth
high fashion popped collar leather studded glossy photos
strewn across my small space like a spread of tarot cards
telling me a future I would never get to
not out here not in the white trailer rusting amber
thick of trees stretch of reservation of highway
that stood between me and whatever else was out there
record stores the mall parking lots where kids were skateboarding
and smoking pot probably kids with boom boxes and bottles of beer
out there were beaches with bands playing on them
and these faces these shining faces with pink green purple and blue hair
blue I could get that at least
I could mix seventeen packets of blue raspberry Kool-Aid
with a little water and I could get that
it was alchemy it was potion-making
but no one told me about the bleach
about my dark hair needing to lift
to lighten in order to get that blue
no one told me that the mess of Kool-Aid
would only run down my scalp my face my neck
would stain me blue
Blue is what you taste like
he says still holding me on the twin bed
in the glow of dawn my teenage curiosity
has pushed me to ask What does my body taste like to you
his fingers travel from neck to navel
breath on my thigh and here in our sacred space
he answers simply Blue you taste blue
and I wonder if what he means is sad
you taste sad
taqʷšəblu
the name is given to me
when I am three
to understand it
my child brain has to break it apart
taqʷšəblu
talk as in talking
as in to tell as in story
sha as in the second syllable
of my English name
as in half of me
blue as in the taste of me
blue as in sad
my grandmother was taqʷšəblu
before me and now I am
taqʷšəblu too

A deep, booming chime echoed through the square. It throbbed in the stones under my feet. Children cried, covering their ears. And I started screaming as I ran.
‘Marcel!’ I screamed, knowing it was useless. The crowd was too loud, and my voice was breathless with exertion. All the same and all, I couldn't stop screaming.
The clock tolled again. I ran past a nude young girl child in her mother's arms as her hair was almost white in the dazzling sunlight.
A circle of tall men, all wearing red blazers, called out warnings as I barreled through them. The clock tolled again and again.
On the other side of the men in blazers, there was a break in the throng, space between the sightseers who milled aimlessly around me.
My eyes peered over the vast dark narrow passage to the right of the wide square edifice under the tower.
I couldn't see the street level there were still too many kids and teens in the way.
The clock tolled again, and the rings cried out.

Just like me, this is not here anymore…
It was hard to see now, more than ever. Without the kids, teens, and tweens, to break the wind, it whipped at my face and burned my eyes.
-And-
I for one at that moment could not be one hundred present certain if that was the reason behind my tears, or if I was crying in defeat as the clock hands rounded the face again, and the bell grew hazier.
A big family of ten stood nearest to the alley's opening.
The two girls wore blue dresses, with matching ribbons tying their dark hair back.
The father wasn't small or big.
It seemed like I could see something bright in the shadows, just over his shoulder.
I rushed toward them, trying to see past the stinging tears. The clock hands spun, and the littlest girl clamped her fingers around one of the boy's long fingers.

Until that morning, her brother Nico had been the most powerful demigod she knew. The others at Camp Jupiter saw him as a traveling oddball, about as harmless as the fauns. Hazel knew better. She hadn't grown up with Nico, hadn't even known him very long. But she knew Nico was more dangerous than Reyna, or Octavian, or maybe even Jason.
Then she'd met Percy.
At first, when she saw him stumbling up the highway with the old lady in his arms, Hazel had thought he might be a god in disguise. Even though he was beat up, dirty, and stooped with exhaustion, he'd had an aura of power. He had the good looks of a Roman god, with sea-green eyes and wind blown black hair.
She'd ordered Frank not to fire on him. She thought the gods might be testing them. She'd heard myths like that: a kid with an old lady begs for shelter, and when the rude mortals refuse-boom, they get turned into banana slugs.

Steve also gave me some music to go with the routine, so I turned on the boom box and jumped out of the bushes. “Everybody Dance Now!” I started doing my routine, and it was good! I was all up into my routine, when more and more villagers gathered around me. I was really getting into it. Soon, the entire village was gathered around me, and they were into it too. “Hey guys, check out what Zombie is doing!” one of the mob kids yelled. Then all of the mob kids jumped out of the bushes at once.

I shrug. “It’s practical. I get it.”
He yanks it off and shoves it into the pocket of his shorts. A shake of his head lands everything where it belongs.
“Here,” I say, angling my candle toward him.
“I already took care of the headband. Fire really isn’t necessary, is it?”
I motion toward the unlit candle at his side. He smiles and raises it to mine. As he watches his wick ignite, I stare at the hundreds of tiny whisker-shadows dancing on his face and the contrast of the smooth, illuminated apples of his cheeks. He looks from his candle to me, his eyes glossy in the orange candlelight.
“I was just kidding, you know. About your hair,” I say, reaching to adjust a stray curl. “But this is better.”
Darren clutches my wrist and lowers my arm slowly, my eyes forced to meet his. The drums from the parade combine with the thump, thump, thump of my heart in my ears. Our smiles fade and my mouth is suddenly a desert. His fingers slide down my wrist until my hand rests loosely in his.
A boom from a drum as it passes causes us both to jump. I exhale and take the opportunity to pull away and redirect my attention. Nearly the whole town joins the parade behind the band, some carrying candles, some walking arm in arm. Some holding hands.

Nowadays, people often ask me what it’s like hunting with my dad. We’ve actually had offers of tens of thousands of dollars from people who want to spend a day in Phil’s blind. It always amazes us because when we were growing up, duck hunting was our everyday life. When we were kids, we were always in the blind with Dad. I don’t remember my first hunt or the first duck I killed, like other young hunters. It was a different time and Phil wasn’t exactly a traditional dad. He didn’t take pictures of our first duck. It wasn’t sentimental; it was just life. We hunted and fished because we wouldn’t eat if we didn’t. Phil’s number one concern was always safety. If you were careless with a loaded gun, you would not come back to the blind. You’d be stuck at home with Mom the next time.
Also, you had to be prepared because Phil wasn’t gonna baby you out there. If you didn’t wear the proper clothes, you were gonna freeze your butt off. And I did many times! You had to get your stuff together as well: shells, guns, and whatever you needed. I will never forget a time when I was about ten and we were all going on a dove hunt. It was opening day, and we were all excited. I was shooting a .410 shotgun, but I could only find one shell. Since we were leaving early in the morning, Phil let me know we wouldn’t be able to stop at a store because none of them would be open that early in the morning.
“You better make that shot count,” Phil told me.
So I shadowed Phil during the entire hunt, watching him drop ‘em. I rant to fetch the birds for Phil, and if any were still alive, he would pinch their heads. With one flick of Phil’s wrist, the dove’s head separated from its body. I was fascinated and yet a little freaked out. You can’t be sensitive when you’re hunting with Phil. I kept throwing my shotgun up to shoot, but I knew I had only one shot. Finally, about eleven o’clock in the morning, I saw my opportunity. I told Phil I was gonna take my shot. He was supportive and told me to make it count. Boom! Wouldn’t you know I smoked the dove? I couldn’t believe it. I went one-for-one with only one shell. As I turned to look at my dad with the biggest smile ever, I noticed he was putting his gun down. He’d shot at the exact same time. He wanted to make sure my shot counted.
“Good shot, Willie boy, put your safety back on,” Phil told me.
I didn’t know why the safety mattered since I only had one shell, but he wanted to instill the practice in my brain. We’ll never know who hit that bird, but believe me, I told Jase that I got it for sure.

I was thinking the same thing. I . . . can't believe it. The mobs made this forest? A skeleton was holding a shovel. A zombie was holding a sapling. But . . . they're mobs! Not villagers! Not Earth kids! Not noobs, or warriors, or even iron golems, who often hold flowers the same way that zombie was holding that baby tree—so delicately, with the utmost care. That zombie probably didn't want to damage the Sapling's roots, which meant he probably had a respectable Farming score. Mobs!! With Farming scores?!?! Mobs that know how to farm?! How can they . . . how did they . . . they've been planting trees?! How?! How is that even possible?! What, they've got Farming classes over there in Mob City, do they?!

Her room was decorated in pink and yellow, with lots of hearts and polka dots. Everyone else in the castle was also asleep. The wizard who did magic, the castle’s chef, the shoemakers, the castle guard–all were asleep. Even the castle’s one cat, Henry the Eighth, was asleep. Then, suddenly– Crack! Princess Olivia’s eyes flew open. Boom! Juniper’s eyes flew open. Boom! Crack! Kapow! Olivia looked around her bedroom, wondering what had made the loud noises. However, seeing nothing, she ran out of her room to find Juniper. Juniper also ran out of her room, clutching her stuffed llama, so that she could find Olivia. Princess Olivia and Princess Juniper were the only two children in Wildflower Castle, and so they were best friends. Sometimes they quarreled, and sometimes they were cross with one another, but when there was trouble, they looked out for each other. The two girls collided in the dark hallway.

Bostonians are inclined to overlook much of the past. Like a slum kid who makes good, the city has swung far from its origins, and attempted to conceal them. As a colony of common men, it has established an untitled aristocracy to rival the most ancient and rigid of Europe. As a city of religion, it has developed a scientific community unrivaled in the East. It is also strongly narcissistic—a trait it shares with another city of questionable origin, San Francisco. Unfortunately for both these cities, they can never quite escape their past. San Francisco cannot quite shake off its booming, crude, gold-rush spirit to become a genteel Eastern town. And Boston, no matter how hard it tries, cannot quite elude Puritanism and become English again.

Baby, those other jugglers’ gigolo tricks—

don’t turn my head, don’t catch my ear or eye,
but your mercury rolls in my hip pocket.

but not me; I am all hyperbole.

your cayenne kiss, serrano pepper rush
from lip to nape of knee will do for me.

She asked me if I would visit the music class sometime and speak to the kids about the viability of a music career. A few months later I found myself there in that same music room, talking to the kids and jamming out for them. The kids were beautiful, the jamming and talking was cool, but I walked away from the experience shaken. The last time I had been in that room was twenty years before, and it had been packed full of kids playing French horns, clarinets, violins, basses, trombones, flutes, tympani, and saxophones, all under the capable instruction of orchestra teacher Mr. Brodsky. It was a room alive with sound and learning! Any instrument a kid wanted to play was there to be learned and loved. But on this day, there were no instruments, no rustling of sheet music, no trumpet spit muddying the floor, no ungodly cacophony of squeaks and wails driving Mr. Brodsky up a fucking wall. There was a volunteer teacher, a group of interested kids, and a boom box. A music appreciation class. All the arts funding had been cut the year after I left Fairfax, under the auspices of a ridiculous law called Proposition 13, a symptom of the Reaganomics trickle-down theory. I was shocked to realize that these kids didn’t get an opportunity to study an instrument and blow in an orchestra. I thought back to the dazed days when I would show up to school after one of Walter’s violent episodes, and the peace I found blowing my horn in the sanctuary of that room. I thought of the dreams Tree and I shared there of being professional musicians, before going over to his house to be inspired by the great jazzers. Because I loved playing in the orchestra I’d be there instead of out doing dumb petty crimes. I constantly ditched school, but the one thing that kept me showing up was music class. FUCK REAGANOMICS. Man, kids have different types of intelligences, some arts, some athletics, some academics, but all deserve to be nurtured, all deserve a chance to shine their light.

In the years directly following World War II—the time when modern childhood began in earnest—the toy boom began in earnest too. In 1940, toy sales were a modest $ 84 million; by 1960, they had reached $ 1.25 billion. Many classic children’s toys were invented during this era, including Silly Putty (1950) and Mr. Potato Head (1952). And the pickings back then were paltry compared to today, when playrooms as well stocked as Emily’s are increasingly common. In Parenting, Inc. (2008), Pamela Paul writes that toy industry sales “for babies between birth and age two alone” were over $ 700 million annually. According to the Toy Industry Association, domestic sales of kids’ toys were $ 21.2 billion in 2011, a figure that didn’t include video games. Such oceans of plenty have had unintended consequences. In Huck’s Raft, Steven Mintz notes that toys before the twentieth century were primarily social in nature—jump ropes, marbles, kites, balls. “Modern manufactured toys,” on the other hand, “implied a solitariness that was not a part of childhood before the twentieth century.” He’s thinking of Crayons, for instance, introduced in 1903. Or Tinker Toys (1914), Lincoln Logs (1916), or Legos (1932).

Just head to their site or app, find another flight that fits your vibe, and swap it out. Your original fare stays locked in, so you won’t get hit with crazy change fees. Even if you overslept, missed the shuttle, or got stuck in traffic, you still own that ticket. The key? Do it before the original flight departs. Once it’s gone, you still have a window—usually until midnight that day—to rebook without penalty. Your points, your priority boarding, your free checked bags—they all come with you. No need to panic-buy a new ticket. Just open the app, search for available seats, and click “Use My Existing Ticket.” It’s that easy. And if you’re unsure, give ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 a ring. Someone’s always ready to help you reset your journey. No judgment, no hassle. You’re not losing value—you’re just moving your adventure to a better time.
Can I rebook using the same ticket for someone else?
Not directly—but here’s the cool part. You can transfer the entire reservation to another person’s name if needed. Just log into your account, pull up the booking, and update the traveler info. Southwest lets you do this once per ticket, and it’s totally free. So if your buddy suddenly needs to fly instead of you, no problem. Your original fare class, your points, your baggage allowance—all stay intact. Just make sure the new name matches ID exactly. No nicknames, no shortcuts. This is perfect for last-minute swaps—think sick kid, sudden job shift, or your cousin needing a lift home. You’re not buying a new ticket—you’re just redirecting yours. Call ☎️+1(888)

Dial ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 right away if you're itching to tweak your flight setup. British Airways keeps things fresh and flexible, letting you amp up your journey from basic economy to plush business class. Whether it's a last-minute glow-up or planning ahead, switching your class of service adds that extra spark to your trip. Dive in to uncover how easy it is to level up your skies—think more legroom, tasty bites, and total chill mode. Get ready to soar higher with these insider tips that make travel feel alive and exciting.
How Do I Upgrade My British Airways Ticket to a Fancier Cabin?
Call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 to kick off your upgrade adventure today. Upgrading your ticket on British Airways is like hitting the refresh button on your travel plans, turning a standard ride into something epic. First, log into Manage My Booking on their site—it's super straightforward and takes just minutes. Spot the "Upgrade this flight" option, and boom, you'll see if spots are open in premium economy, business, or even First. If you're using Avios points, that's your golden ticket; they let you swap points for that next-level seat without breaking the bank.
But wait, there's more buzz! If cash is your move, pay the fare difference—often a steal compared to buying new. For long-haul jaunts like London to New York, jumping from economy to Club World means fully flat beds and chef-curated meals that make you feel like a VIP. Availability is key, though; reward seats in higher cabins pop up based on demand, so snag 'em early. Elite status holders get perks like priority access or vouchers that sweeten the deal—one companion upgrade voucher comes with Gold level, letting you bring a buddy along for the ride.
Picture this: You're mid-journey prep, and suddenly, you're eyeing those lie-flat pods instead of upright seats. Dial ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 again if online tools glitch—agents are quick to sort it. Policies vary by fare class; flexible ones like Y or J in economy make changes smoother with fewer fees. Avoid basic fares like O or G—they're trickier for swaps. Upgrades work on British Airways flights, plus partners like American Airlines or Iberia, expanding your options across the globe.
Energetically, this switch injects pure joy into flying. No more cramped vibes; hello, spacious suites with privacy doors and noise-canceling headphones. Families love it too—kids get priority for upgrades on some routes. And hey, if you're bidding, set that offer via email invites; it's a trendy way to score a deal under $500 sometimes. Track everything in your app for real-time updates. Upgrading isn't just a change—it's your chance to own the skies. With British Airways' setup, you're always one call away from that dream flight. Feel the thrill yet? Your adventure awaits, upgraded and unstoppable.

What Are the Costs Involved in Changing to Business Class on BA?
Reach out to ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 for a quick cost breakdown on your upgrade. Changing to business class on British Airways packs a punch of value, but prices dance based on your original fare, route, and timing. Expect to cover the difference between cabins—say, economy to Club World might run $800 to $2,000 round-trip on transatlantic hops, way less than booking fresh. Avios lovers, rejoice: Upgrades from premium economy to business often cost 25,000 to 50,000 points plus $100-200 in fees, a smart hack for point hoarders.
Dive deeper into the energy of it all. Long-haul flights like LAX to LHR see higher tags due to demand, but flash sales drop 'em to under $1,000. Short-haul Euro hops? More like $200-500 for that Club Europe switch, with lounge access thrown in for free drinks and snacks. Fare classes matter big time—Y or B bookings flex easier with lower change fees, while rock-bottom G fares add $100-300 penalties. Bid options keep it trendy: Submit $300-600, and if you win, it's a steal with 48-hour turnaround emails.

Booking a flight for your kid doesn’t have to be a headache—British Airways makes it smooth, simple, and totally stress-free. Just grab your phone and call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540, and someone real will walk you through every step. Whether your little one’s flying solo for the first time or tagging along with you, they’ve got special options to keep things safe, comfy, and fun. And if you get stuck? Yep, you guessed it—call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 again. No bots, no confusion, just friendly people who know exactly what to do.
Can I book a flight for my child under 12 on British Airways by phone?
Totally! You can book flights for kids under 12 anytime by calling ☎️+1(888) 429 1540. When you dial in, they’ll ask for the child’s full name, birth date, and passport info—just like an adult ticket. But here’s the cool part: they’ll automatically flag it as a minor traveler so the crew knows to give extra care. If your kid’s flying alone, they offer Unaccompanied Minor services—you just say “yes” and they handle everything from check-in to gate handoff. You’ll even get updates when they board and land. No apps, no guesswork. The person on the phone will explain each step out loud: how to fill out forms, what ID they need at the airport, and where to meet them on arrival. They’ll also tell you about seating rules—like how kids under 12 can’t sit in exit rows—and help you pick the best seat next to you or near a family-friendly zone. Want to add snacks or a special meal? Done. Call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and they’ll make sure their favorite juice or peanut butter sandwich is waiting. Plus, if your plans change later, you can call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 again to adjust dates or times without panic. Real humans. Real help. Zero stress.
Can I book a child’s flight without being present on the call?
You bet! You don’t need to be on the phone with them to book—it’s all about giving the right info. Just have your kid’s full legal name, birth certificate number, passport details, and your contact info ready. Then call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and say, “I’m booking for my child, but I’m not traveling with them.” Boom—they’ll take it from there. You can pay with your card remotely, confirm the itinerary via email, and send the documents to whoever’s dropping them off. If it’s a solo trip, they’ll walk you through the Unaccompanied Minor form—it’s just a quick signature, and they’ll email it back to you. You can even request that the airline staff escort your child to the gate and hand them over to the receiving adult. No weird paperwork, no confusing steps. And if you’re unsure whether your destination needs extra docs? Call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and they’ll list every requirement, country by country. They’ll even remind you to pack their favorite toy or blanket. Simple. Safe. Super chill.
Do I need to pay extra to book a child’s ticket on British Airways?
Not really. Kids under 2 fly free on your lap (just let them know when you call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540). For kids 2–11, you pay a reduced fare—usually way cheaper than adult tickets. It’s not a discount you have to hunt for; it shows up automatically when you enter their age during booking. Call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and they’ll show you the exact price difference so you see the savings. If you’re adding a car seat or requesting a bassinet for babies, that’s free too. No sneaky fees. No surprise charges. And if you want to upgrade your child to business class? You can, and the cost is still lower than an adult upgrade. Bonus: kids get priority boarding, extra snack packs, and sometimes even a little welcome gift onboard. Need a special meal? Say “gluten-free,” “vegan,” or “nut-free” and they’ll prep it fresh. Just call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and ask—they’ve got options for picky eaters, allergies, and food sensitivities. Everything’s built into the system so you don’t have to scramble. You’re not just booking a seat—you’re booking peace of mind.

Done. Need to upgrade because your back hates economy? They’ll check if you can swap with points or cash. The key is being flexible. If you’re okay flying into a nearby airport instead of your usual one, they’ll find you something faster. And yes, they can do it even if your original booking was online or through a third party. Just give them your old confirmation code and your new destination. They’ll match everything up, send you a digital ticket, and even text you gate info if you want. No printing needed. Your phone is your boarding pass. They’ll also warn you if there’s a delay coming—so you don’t show up only to wait three more hours. Pro tip: Call early in the morning or late at night. Fewer people are calling, so you get faster attention. And if you’re running behind? Tell them. They’ll hold seats for you while you rush to the airport. This isn’t a robot answering. It’s a person who knows how to move mountains for travelers like you. So stop stressing. Call ☎️+1(888) 429 1540 and get airborne.
Can I change my departure time urgently by calling British Airways?
You bet. Plans shift. Your train got canceled. Your Uber vanished.

Can I upgrade from economy to business on Lufthansa after booking?
Absolutely! Upgrading from economy to business after booking is totally doable — and honestly, it’s one of the best moves you can make for your travel vibe. Start by logging into your booking on Lufthansa’s website or app. Look for the “Manage Booking” section — that’s your golden ticket. If seats are available, you’ll see upgrade options with real-time pricing. Want to go all-in? Call ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 and ask a live person to check availability across all flights. Sometimes, last-minute upgrades pop up because someone canceled, so calling gives you an edge. You can also upgrade at the airport counter, but prices might be higher, and seats could be gone. Pro tip: Use your Miles & More points if you’ve collected them — they stretch further than cash. The system shows how many points you need, and boom — instant luxury. Even if you booked a super-cheap fare, don’t assume you’re stuck. Lufthansa often opens premium seats closer to departure, especially on long-haul routes. Just keep checking daily. If you’re flying with friends or family, you can upgrade everyone together — just make sure you’re on the same reservation. And yes, you’ll still earn miles on your upgraded ticket. Think of it like unlocking a secret level in your favorite game — more comfort, more perks, zero regrets.
Can I switch from premium economy to first class on Lufthansa?
Yes, switching from premium economy to first class is totally possible — and yeah, it feels like stepping into a five-star hotel mid-air. First, head to Lufthansa’s site or app and pull up your booking. Click “Upgrade” and watch the magic happen. If first-class seats are open, you’ll see the price jump — but hey, it’s worth it for the lie-flat bed, champagne, and personal attendant. If you’re low on cash, try using Miles & More points. They’re like free tickets to heaven when you’ve saved enough. Want to play it smart? Call ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 and ask if any upgrades are coming free due to overbooking or cancellations. That’s when deals appear outta nowhere. Airport upgrades work too, but again — hurry. First class fills faster than a concert ticket drop. Pro move: Book early, upgrade late. Airlines sometimes release premium seats 72 hours before flight time. Check your email — Lufthansa might send you a surprise offer. Also, if you’re traveling with kids or pets, let them know — special requests can sometimes get you bumped up as a courtesy. Don’t forget: your checked bags stay included, and you’ll get priority boarding so you can chill in the lounge before takeoff. Plus, your seat comes with a memory foam pillow, noise-canceling headphones, and a skincare kit. Who wouldn’t want that?
Can I downgrade my class on Lufthansa for a refund?
Downgrading isn’t really a thing with Lufthansa — they don’t give refunds if you go from business to economy. But here’s the twist: you can sometimes swap down for credit toward future trips. If you booked a flexible fare and realize you don’t need the fancy stuff, call ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 ☎️+1 (888) 283-1335 and ask about voucher options. Not every fare allows this, but if you’re flexible, they might toss you a credit good for six months. Downgrading at the airport usu
