Brilliant! A simply stunning exercise in both structural conceptualization as well as parental forbearance! Sadly, some of us rely too heavily on mirrors of mesmerization (aka screens) to respond to such creative imaginations. May both the supernatural as well as parental gods permit von Dean's continued flirtations with gravity, momentum, balance and conceptual powers of persuasion!

Oh don’t you worry, the mesmerization machine was going in the background just in case we required its soothing at some step along the way when reality and dreams mixed even less well than usual!

Hurricane Heinrich! I hope you don’t need FEMA today when the boy and his cat apply themselves with fourth floor wind force. Looking at the clock HH is probably making landfall right now.
