William meets James. James get's "circ'd"

 This morning William met James for the first time. He was interested in his brother, but no more interested in him than in the buses outside the window, the light swtiches or the myriad technical controls in the average hospital room.

James has had a big day so far. He was circumsized (or "circ'd" as they say here) at the crack of dawn. It's never easy to let them take your boy for such a barbaric procedure, but I suppose it's for the best. He's been sleeping ever since, and slept right through his hearing test.

We've had about enough of the hospital. We're headed home after lunch in a couple hours.
