Mother-Son Evening Out

Dear Vinny,

This evening Daddy was taking a watercolor course so you and I had an evening out on the town together.

We started by going to the "Pizza House" (as you call our local pizza buffet restaurant) for dinner, and they gave you a balloon. We saw an older woman there whom we recognized, sitting alone. I invited her to sit with us, and she did. I asked her about her past, and she told me she had a masters degree in mathematics, and that she'd worked as a programmer on my workplace's first supercomputer. I thought this was just about the coolest thing ever, and I asked her quite a few additional questions about her computing experience, and then told her a little about what things are like now.

After dinner, we went to play on the playground, but we didn't stay long because the sun was setting. We came home and it was soon time for bed. I tucked you in just before Daddy came home.

Love,
Mama
