They keep coming to see The Dragon Boss. This week's visitor came from Boston on a gray Wednesday and returned on a warm Saturday night the same way everybody else has, on a plane, and a whole lot happier to have seen the Dragon Boss, but sad to have left him. Even Aunt Erin.
She left a little legacy though. If the Dragon Boss calls out for green apple spinach smoothies six months from now, it'll be Aunt Erin he's asking for. Baleen, who used to start each morning with a bowl of oatmeal, bananas and maple syrup now saves that for a mid-morning snack.
Aunt Erin will get another look at the Dragon Boss in a month. By then, instead of signing for milk by squeezing his hands, as we hope he'll do, he might just sign for a green apple spinach smoothie.
