One of the fun things about going back to BC was that Eleanor got to expand her Repertoire of Experiences. I mean, she's very familiar with the stretch of sidewalk between our house and the store, and intimately acquainted with the carpet, but in BC she learned about fishnet stockings

and beards

(became rather an expert on beards, actually)

(got something of a PhD in 'beards')

and learned to play the piano (it is done with the feets).

Her already-not-insubstantial brain grew three sizes that week.
