Here’s the dress, above, photo courtesy of CAbi clothing. If you can’t see it, I’ll describe it to you in my high-fashion vocabulary [2]: it was green, and silky-ish (some...  We went back to school today. Does that seem a little… sudden to anyone else? Yeah. Me, too. The Boy had a basketball game — 3rd grade league, coached by Husband. No keeping score.
