Frank got his marching orders today. He's flying to Montgomery, Alabama, on Sunday morning (early Sunday morning: his flight is at 6 something in the morning, and he has to be there an hour or so before that, and the airport is an hour and a half away, so I guess we're leaving at three in the morning or so.
Emma's moving onto campus Saturday morning, not nearly so early. The two of them are going to a Pokemon convention for the rest of the day Saturday.
I'm all weepy and motherish.
The historical significance of Montgomery is not lost on any of us (Bus Boycott, lunch counters, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Freedom Riders, all of which I was too young for except as a faraway kid who helped collect books for a book drive and marched in supportive demonstrations far away -- closest was Washington, D.C.)
The Saturday after this was already scheduled as a big demonstration, nationally, and I guess there's no way I'm missing it now.
I really am all weepy and motherish.
