I got to hang out with my nephew on his first day of summer vacation. He beat me in a series of races home from the park when walking the dog, and beat me at war. I think we broke even on Uno, and I won King's Corners. Really, though, I won all the way around: I got some quality 1:1 time with a boy who wanted to go for some bike rides, showed me where all the tadpoles were hiding in plain sight, was willing to try oysters on the half-shell with me, and reached for and held my hand for probably the last time ever as we wrapped up our big, sweaty walk back from the river.
