Playing Hooky

My Little had a Big one today, a Big Day, that is, with her dad. They set out early, gobbling down the free breakfast in our hotel and ubering off to the Indy 500, wondering how I could pass up such a glorious chance to watch noisy, fume-belting cars zipping around at dangerous speeds. After waving them goodbye, I reveled in my own long glorious day ahead, a blank canvas.
