From the journal 📖

My kids (Neko, 10; Ida, 6) and I have been watching our way through some classic eighties movies, and I’ve been surprised at how well some of them still hold up. Both children thought Back to the Future was fantastic.

The same evening we watched Marty travel back in time, we had an immaculately cooked pork roast for dinner. As we sat down to eat, Ida produced a fuchsia seedling she’d potted earlier that day. Neko started laughing.

“What’s funny?” I asked.

“Back to the Fuchsia!” he said. Which I thought was brilliant.

I didn’t think of it in the moment, but I thought of another one later that evening: Bach to the Future: The musical.
