In the Stacks with Dora
Emilio spent a long stretch of time today and yesterday reading independently. Those of you who are familiar with the adventures of Dora the Explorer will recognize the moment when he comes to the page on which a recurring character--"Swiper" the fox--appears. One page later, he whispers a warning: "Swiper! No Swiping!"
When Emi goes into his reading zone, I try not to break the spell.

The Long-Awaited Return of Coat-Free Emi
When the temperatures reached the high fifties on Friday, Emilio and I ventured into the Chicago winds without our coats for the first time this year. The three videos below document the experience.

Logger!: A Three-Act Play
In Act One (37 seconds), Emilio is raised to the top of a tall tree that is subsequently chopped down to the call of "timber." Emilio asks to repeat the experience ("uno mas, no mas") and then loses control of his senses.
At the start of Act Two (64 seconds), Emilio--apparently in control of his senses-- asks to be given one more opportunity to indulge the timber-induced madness that he now calls "blah, blah, blah." Pacing the bed while delivering a non-sensical speech, he collapses as if through a trap door. He then discovers that he cannot give up his addiction to these matches with the invisible wrestlers who surround him.
In the third and Final Act (168 seconds), Emilio returns to the top of the tall tree, falls, and then mysteriously disappears. All that remains is a disembodied voice that asks "Donde esta Emilio?" Then a hand appears . . .
