Noah has arrived for his annual summer visit. A month earlier than usual — which is great because the weather’s nicer, and less sticky. So far.

Today, as is our tradition, we spent his first day in Iowa City at the bookstore, local awesomeness, Prairie Lights. We had high octane and chocolate milk, and Noah read Naruto comics while I read the New York Times.

Noah kept exclaiming how cool the Naruto was, and I had to comment, honestly, “Your Manga is way less depressing than my New York Times.” So maybe I should go back to just reading comics.
