Today I

• Up to row the 4-.  Raoul, David S, Brian K and me steering. We were respectable.
• Did my first post row work out of the head season.  30 min treadmill 3.77 miles. Challenging, but mostly mentally so.
• Home for some time with mini man, then straight into brewing the re-do of the Saison I liked so well.  The yeast starter was quiet for 24 hours, then nuts when we got home last night.  Smelled a bit of that industrial/ phenolic aroma, but I *think* I smelled that last time and all was well.  I sure hope so.  
• William the handy man was by to look at the roof, adn eh ended up cleanign gutters and trimming back trees.
• Kel took her test this morning, and it was positive, as I had expected.  Taking that one day at a time.
• Took Johann into SF for his appointment with the developmental specialist.  We didn't learn much, other than he's most likely not autistic in any way, but is delayed in a few ways, and that more tests are on order.  I held him for his blood draw for the genetic tests they want to do.  Right now, I think he's going to come back biologically nromal, which I think I'd prefer.  Id' rather he be normal and unexplained, because then it seems like he'll catch up. I don't want bad news.  It's so hard to see him cry with needles.
• I fear we lost Oliver when I got out of the car in the lot to get Burritos. Kel ordered 2 new ones.  Not the same, but hopefully no one will notice.  I feel bad.  I hope he shows up.
• I cleaned up my brewing, and took Johann out front for some play time in the grass.  He loved it, chased the cats, picked cover.  He still loves his flowers.
• Tonight, he pointed to objects on the shelf in the living room, and I tried to figure out what he wanted, and pulled them down for him.  He was fascinated by the paint brushes.  He was super happy.  He laughed when he tried to put the cats' ball in my mouth, and I made a sour face and shook my head "no" and pulled away.  He kept trying.  And laughing.  I think he understands teasing.  It was really cute.  He then wanted to pass the ball by mouth to each other.  Kind of hilarious. He laughed.
