9:30 a.m. and "Where is Clark?"

Someone noticed we hadn’t yet seen Clark today. I left the study, walked down the hall and opened his door.


I could see slight movement from the covers. When Clark and Phil shared a room Phil was on the top bunk but he moved out and into our youngest’s bedroom when she moved out of the house. I used to fix the top bedspread so it didn’t hang down but Clark kept putting it back so I’ve given up. He likes the tent effect.


“Clark, it is time to get up (actually it is well past time to get up) and get on the treadmill. Dad is downstairs now but if you don’t get up you will be exercising by yourself (and if you don’t walk two miles you will not be eating breakfast).”
He is downstairs now and on the treadmill.
