Sometimes I sneak the Bows onto campus with me, because they know how to chill quietly and behave themselves while I work.
Today, I left them at home, which was surely for the better. High schoolers were spilled all over the hallways, as the campus was hosting a regional speech competition. Youths in suits talking and gesticulating at walls, plastic file tubs stacked precariously on cheap dollies, the crisp syllables of well-groomed competitors in sugar-fueled conversation… it would have been overwhelming to the Bows, indeed.

Oh my goodness! I was one of those youths over a decade ago! Annual Berkeley S & D Tourney!!!
Heh. I was a Forensics kid at my Midwestern high school, myself. The last time I really felt the thrill of competition, I think.
