Monday, and the first schoolday of the year for T. (pre-K) and S. (high school, The Barack Obama Academy for International Studies). We had an early breakfast and brought T. to her new class, and after that drove D. to her work. We are going to explore Butler Street in Lawrenceville, an upcoming neighbourhood with …
