DEJA VU REDUX ALL OVER AGAIN ONE MORE TIME

Well, with Keech back from college in the States and Kasumi and Kaya now living just across the Lake, visiting every day and often staying over, it's getting to be just like old times around here with several dozen things going on at any given time, small hard toys underfoot, kids' voices all over the air talking about all the new news, totally new music never before heard by me on the box, new hairdos and haircuts and colors and clothes and fashions and styles and have-you-heards, somebody always on or answering the phone or at the computer, shower always busy, refrigerator overflowing with unusual foods, table overflowing too, for multiple and diverse appetites (Kaya eats the most, of just about anything), exponential laundry, and then at night and in the morning extra beds filled with extra sleepy heads... I'm not complaining, mind you. Once you gain the promontory of grandparenthood, these things last for only short whiles, not for 20 straight years like they used to.
