3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Son has scored a Grand-Slam - three out of three successful applications for auditions. There is now no doubt that a short-term loan is unavoidable, as all three have to be funded by his parents - not only audition fees but pre-audition coaching and logistics. I have to go to all of 'em too as he has his mother's geographical skills - zero! But there is of course absolutely no question of not doing so. This of course is my purpose, to make a difference, making the most difference to those closest.
