Three years after the break-in at our house, I finally replaced our antiquated security system with a new one from Ring. With 24/7 monitoring, remote control, and cellular backup, the smart alarm system also links to our video door bell and new spotlight cam for the backyard, just in time for planning our landscaping and patio renovation project. Beside installing the system last weekend, we took Westley to the California State Fair. We arrived at Cal Expo prepared with sunscreen and diaper bag, but no stroller. So we gave our biceps a workout carrying him as we lunched on fried calamari, veggies, and fries; sipped strawberry lemonade, perused prized goats and fancy pigeons, dodged a runaway horse, watched live clogging, and sampled cheese and yogurt from local dairies. The outing was probably still not adventurous enough for Westley, who decided to take a head dive off the piano bench onto, ironically, a toy piano from grandma. The resulting lid lac led to frantic texts to my oculoplastics colleague and an evening drive to clinic for some dermabond action. He was clearly dejected seeing himself in the mirror next morning, but perked up for our father-son trip to the mall while mom was volunteering at Paul Hom. We went to Arden Fair to return some shorts, dresses, and shoes; but Westley was more interested in escalators, massage chairs, and Lego sets. After nap time, we took another trip to Manor Pool, where Westley remains fearful of the water. With his recent “owie”, no wonder everything around him feels a little “cary.”
