It's cool to pee your pants...

I want to know when things quit being cool. Or maybe the better question is how things quit being cool. Too much has quit being cool. It's not cool to tell someone you care for them, or about them. It isn't cool to do what's right, to pay attention in class, work hard, obey the law and the list goes on and on. I think it has to do with age.

The sun beamed brightly through the window shades as I sat getting my son's shoes tied this morning. I didn't think anything of the situation but I looked down to see pure amazement on my boys face. Of course I began to smile, you know the way a person acts when they don't get it but they want to act like they do. Then I realized that he was looking at the dust particles floating around in the air, trying to catch them with his tiny hands. We sat there for a good 10 minutes (which made me even later for work than usual) both of us completely entertained. Times like that are great. They are real.

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.
