Valentines Day... I think I just wet myself.

Not really, but I am excited. I usually don't get into most holidays but for some reason today seems different.

I think the reason is because this holiday gives me a chance to get around to telling my special someone how much she really means to me. Life gets distracting, I feel relieved to have a day like today where I can make it a point to let her know I love her. The holiday sure isn't like it used to be though.

Valentines Day was cool as shit when we were in school. In grade school remember how we used to make a box to hold all of you Valentines in and spend hours writing out and looking for the coolest Valentines? It even got better in high school where we could buy a flower for a dollar and put a girls name and locker number on it and they would deliver them all on a certain day. I remember one year I was nervous as shit, wondering if this older gal was going to get my flower and fall in love with me. Needless to say she got it, and she didn't. I was pretty weak back in those days.

Anyways, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change? Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.
