With Ariel preparing to go to college, we wound up having one last family overnight. Friday night I took Ariel to see “Hair” while Kathleen took Caroline to see “The Lion King.” The family then stayed over at the Marriott Marquis. The next morning, as with her sisters before her, Caroline got to go to the American Girls store and get her own American Girls doll. Then in the afternoon we all went to see “The Little Mermaid”–

Perhaps Mr. Manchester should donate $125,000 to a new proposition that would outlaw divorce. Let’s see how well that works out.
