today was mostly recovery from the trip. Jay and me talked at length about him going east to gettysburg to see about his family. he seemed rather apprehensive about it after what i found on my excursion. thats his cross to bear i guess. Jed had built a rather impressive heroscape map in our absence and was content playing with it most of the day. i had the feeling he was relishing being alittle bit kid again and i sure wasnt going to steal that from him. i even wandered down to alco and the hardware and rounded up several sets of technic legos for him to play with. He seemed excited at first but soon went back to the heroscape map. he had a robots vs. monsters battle going and was quite absorbed. Matt was wiped out and spent most of the day asleep. I found a couple paperback books to read and spent the day in the sun napping and reading. Jay wandred the barricade off and on as he felt lke it. The recent cold snap had re-frozen the dead heads for a few days at least.
