My youngest turned 15 over the weekend. We spent some time together, went out to eat, had the waitstaff do one of those "yeehaw" birthday tributes they do in front of a minimized pandemic audience. We went shopping for masks for in-person high school which begins on a limited basis tomorrow. We got a lemon flavored birthday cake. He passed on a haircut again which he's abstained from since quarantine began back in the winter. He plans on shaving his head when the restrictions are finally lifted. Sitting in the driveway today, he told me that if he becomes famous he'll bring people together in a way that's not offensive to anyone. He talked about Robin Williams. He said people today are very divided. Things change I told him. It was the only thing true I could think to say.
