I want to let her know that yes, the 8th grade stinks. I'm not sure that I know anyone that looks back on it as a time that they think that they looked their best. Or that they felt their best. Or even that it was a fun time. I wish I could forget it myself.
But the good news is that it doesn't last forever.
This picture is from a car trip that Elena and I took through the middle of Texas to go watch Mark run a race. This is the great Sam Houston. And here is a Sam Houston quote that might amuse Elena. She's been telling us all her thoughts on Texas and one of its founding fathers agrees:
"All new states are invested, more or less, by a class of noisy, second-rate men who are always in favor of rash and extreme measures, but Texas was absolutely overrun by such men."
