There is something about that kid that brings out the party in me

For some reason everything a certain friend of mine is in town things get a little bit out of control. And last night was no exception.



I found myself staring at a watered down 7&7, and it was just about 3:15...AM. I used to be able to pull it off all the time, like it was my job. These days it's quite difficult to get down like that and then get up 4 hours later. Luckily we ate plenty of food last night, so I didn't feel like shit today.

The kid knows how to have a good time. And with what he's been going through lately, he needs it. He is in a situation that I think every dude out there fears. His ex girlfriend just had a beautiful baby girl... But she told him a while back she isn't sure if it's his.

I can't even fathom what has to go through his head. I know the emotions of expecting a child... And so far it is intense. To think of going through this, without even knowing whether or not it is my child would be too much for me. The good part in it all is that he is the strongest person I know, and I am not talking muscle. If anyone can get through it, he can, and he will.

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.
