All aboard.

As the following week gets closer, I feel like I'm waiting in line for a roller coaster. I know what's coming, and I just keep telling myself it'll be ok.

On Thursday, my fiance and daughter are flying out to Texas with her mother and niece. They're going to spend a weekend visiting her sister. What makes this so rough is that I haven't spent that amount of time away from Bella, let alone Sum, ever! I hate the thought of being away from them, which is why I have to find some sort of salvation.

Enter Benjamin Wagner & The Nadas.

As I'm sure you've read, I dig both The Nadas and Mr. Wagner. Put them in the same town, which happens to be about 200 miles from my pad, and you know I've got to be there! I can't really describe the overall nervousness which consumes me at this point. I guess I'm afraid when I meet BW I'll turn into that crying girl from American Idol this season! Hopefully not, but I'm just sayin'.

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.
