A Great Day

Day 214:

This was an absolutely fantastic day front to back, start to finish...  An easy Saturday led to an early night in bed, an early and fun morning with both you and with Mommy this morning, and then golf in the late morning and early afternoon with Uncle Justin, Darren, and Justin's Brother in Law, Barrett.   It was a nice warm day so swinging a golf club was easy for an old man like me!  After a few beers, every bad shot was almost welcomed; another opportunity to have a sip!

I played well enough, a few birdies on the front, one on the back, and finished with a 90 - a reasonable score for a weekend hack like me. But most importantly, I got to hang out with friends I've known for almost 25 years each.  And these days, all of us with kids or one on the way, those times are fewer and fewer.  It was a chance to reconnect to the folks in the world who are real.  The people in life who you know you can call on, who you can rely on.  With each passing day, trusting people outside of a very select core friends become close to impossible.  Eventually, you just stop caring.   But not with guys like Justin and Darren.  Not with people who, for a phone call, would give you whatever they had if you needed it.  And they's do that because they know you wouldn't be calling if you didn't need it!

What's more, you and Mommy were off to Marti's baby shower and you spent the day being passed around amongst your adoring public!  Fans new and old couldn't wait to take their turn holding the Lion Heart.  And your reputation precedes you, Boy'O...  Mommy had a great time, you had a great time, I had a great time.  It was truly a great day.

Now it's off to nosh on blue crabs with all our friends and then some for the 2nd time in 5 days!  Oh how I love Summer, Conor.  So many possibilities.  So many memories.

I love you, Son.  Very much.
