I wanted to say thank you for your kind words of encouragement as BC was making his exit from our home. It lasted all of two days. I figured being away from us would be difficult and it was. He screamed, cried, and vomited his way back home.


We received a call from Shawn, BC’s father, late one night saying that BC was having a melt down. I talked to him on the phone and he calmed down enough to tell me all about his day in the park and all the animals he saw at the zoo.


But then it was time to hang up and he collapsed again so Greg drove into NYC to see him. He ended up staying overnight and everyone Shawn, Zora, Momma Ames, BC, and Greg, came back to Greenwich the next day because Eva was marching in the Memorial Day parade.


We grilled and everyone hung out as normal. The guys smoked cigars and drank some brown booze out of a funny looking glass while kicking back by the pool. Eventually they became bored and started hitting random shit with sticks—golf balls, squash balls, one another. Typical WASPy Memorial Day, save the trip to Newport. I mention Newport because I really wanted to go visit Greg’s aunt. She was the first of the Old Guard to welcome me into their family. It’s gonna suck when she dies.


Moving on…


I had my BC so all was right in Tracyland. He’s a clever little boy. He knew that if he’d taken his bath and gotten dressed for bed we wouldn’t make him go back to NYC with Shawn. With that being said, he crept over to Greg and asked him to give him a bath. Greg gave him a bath and dressed him for bed. When it was time for Shawn and Zora to leave, BC told them goodnight and ran upstairs to my bedroom, locked the door, and crawled in bed with me.


He’s still here.


Shawn is an amazing father and wants what’s best for BC, so we’re working on an arrangement that’ll allow him to bond with BC without removing him from the house cold turkey. Obviously that didn’t work. Greg and Shawn are close as brothers and they think alike—very rational. I’m sure they’ll come to an arrangement after Shawn completes his mandatory flight hours for NetJets.


Until then I have my BC right where he belongs. Damn, my blog post are getting longer and longer! I'll have to fit that.
