    Summary

    It's the longest Friday of his life, pretty much. He's at the door to greet his kids at 8am, and then there's reading and writing and Math, lunch and a few chapters of the book that they're reading together. There's skinned knees and headaches and Art and, all day, all Mr Harrington can think about is what time he's going to have to leave the house if he's going to make Indianapolis International in time for his flight to New York. If (when) he makes that flight, he's got a couple of hours to get from LaGuardia to JFK and then it's the redeye to London. He's checked, and the train between London Euston and Birmingham (pronounced perplexingly differently than the one in Alabama) takes a couple of hours and there's a station right near the stadium that Corroded Coffin are headlining at. He'll have like…sixteen hours before he has to leave for the airport again. It's not long. After a month, it'll be enough.

    It's a lot of moving parts.

    Still, Steve believes that the Universe owes him good things. He's kind of believed that for a while.
