Rapprochement

There has been a seismic shift in La-La relations.

Those of you who know Samson know what a big deal this is. He now recognizes La-La #2 as a full member of his nap and nighttime contingent and has even been seen carrying both of them around the house. [Sidenote: La-La #3 has not been seen for months, and I fear the worst.]

He calls them each "La-La" and seems to show no preference for one over the other.

There is no way to understate the signal importance of this event. In our little world, this is the equivalent of Hamas recognizing Israel and then offering to go half on a vacation place in Nantucket. Seriously, it's a big deal.

Of course, Vicki and I are affecting a casual attitude toward the whole situation. If we've learned anything from our friends who are grizzled veterans of the model U.N., it's that it's best to allow former foes the space to work things out on their own.
