It was my firm expectation that while Alden and I were gone in Kansas City, Robbi and Kato would sit around pining, weeping, and being generally miserable. How then am I to feel when I receive photos like the one below, taken mere moments ago and sent to me in an email, which seem to imply an opposite reaction?

Consider me officially miffed. And bewildered. How could Kato be so seemingly happy with his father so very far away? This must be a trick, something done with mirrors. Or Photoshop. I can’t think of any other explanation.
