Bad dad

No court today.

Or rather, there is court today, but I'm not there. As my wife's out of town, it's been quite clear who's the primary caretaker, and who's the heedless slacker who not only doesn't know enough to keep his kid out of the driving rain, but doesn't zip up his kid's coat and invites him to play in fountains while wearing canvas sneakers. Result: kid with cold.

Reminder to self: the Amtrak Cascades, Sound Transit, Tacoma Children's Museum, and Washington State Historical Museum are all fine entertainment options for a train-loving boy, but from Halloween to Easter, there are gonna be long stretches of perma-drizzle between them all.
