Patience is a virtue. During winter, the National Aquarium‘s promotion is $5 admission Fridays after 5pm. Its been nearly five years since I visited the aquarium, so I was as excited as many of the children also in attendance.

“Home”
The boy likes me. He bought flowers for me and magically fit a tree into his apartment for me. In return I gifted an octopus that absconds with our tree-topper.
