So all last week I lost precious time reading Slate's coverage of the Supreme Court decisions, and while there were decisions that were surely more controversial (wiretapping for everyone, or instance), I keep thinking about the social ramifications of the gun control decision. Will it be easier to get a handgun in my neck of the woods? Maybe. Perhaps not. But it has made me wonder if I will ever ask one of my kids' friends' parents if they keep guns in their apartments. What is the protocol in places where guns in teh home are more common? do people not care? Is it too rude to ask? (Possibly.) Am I alone in getting the itch about this? (Possibly.) But don't tell me that I'm being naive about firearms and New York City. Felix's former babysitter has a license and in fact it's part of her job to carry.
I can't say this is keeping me up nights, though. That honor actually goes to Sebastian. It was a bit of a pity he didn't time last night's wake up so well because yesterday was the Pridefest (celebrating the end of Pride Week) and there was some fabulous fireworks display on the Hudson River.
It is a shame that even after waiting for years to show Felix some fireworks (my husband and I talk about it every year), it will still be some time before he can stay awake past nine o'clock without unspeakable results.
At least we have snapshots.
