Part two.

**If you didn't read my last post, I'd suggest doing so before reading this one.**

Not only was it my father there putting in hours of work, my mom was right there with him. She has always been the glue that holds our family together, and the family business' for that matter. She handles the books, makes sure the place is full of booze, organizes the friday night happy hour every week and babysits my dad, which might be the hardest task of all.

What's to come of The Chesterfield? From what it sounds like they won't have near as many dates booked a month. With a lot of local cover bands that play other people music, because that is what the sheep here in Sioux City like listening to. Heaven forbid you listen to a song you haven't heard of! I can't tell you how often I'll frequent the place, I don't like cover bands.

Mainly I hope my parents know that I love them and I am very proud of both of them. They have inspired me in so many ways and I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before they have another adventure to embark on. All I know is I'll be right along side cheering them on.

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.
