a one way ticket to heck & back

papa has to go to seattle to produce a friend's album. he's going to be gone for 17 whole days!

that's a long time!

the record label is paying for his hotel & meals & airplane but papa says it's not enough time & he's gonna be really busy. he told mama it was a one way ticket to hell & back, which is a song by the darkness he likes. don't say "h", polly said. polly doesn't like swearing. papa laughed & said you're absolutely right scout, it's a one way ticket to heck & back.

polly is going to miss papa. he said she can call & email anytime but it's not the same. who is going to pick her up after school? mama has to work at the ashram & so does auntie serena. grandma is in charleston. it's a big deal to pick up polly from school, mama has to bring them in & they have to get photographed & fingerprinted.

ok.. mama just told polly she can go home with daljt until they can figure out who will pick her up. that will be fun.
