Barking to get youngsters on task. Not peacifying, and it doesn’t seem to make us any more efficient. But is there an alternative? Well, for tonight, yes. I’d been looking at my Scotland journal, and rather marveling at the richness of it all (not to mention the detail of the accounts). So, instead of family, cinema, we pulled out our old Glasgow video. The kids were rapt, but we were more. Day to day impatience melted before the awesome, sacred images of these gorgeous long-ago children. Harmoniousness followed.
