Around the World

Day 289:

Okay so, maybe not around the World, but at least around the Southeast of the North American continent...  In four weeks I've spent at least 10 days in another state not named Virginia.  Granted, much of that time was spent in Florida and those days turned out to be less than fruitful.  At least thus far.  Though this last trip to Nashville was a home run, and so my return trip to the DC area felt pretty good.

Leaving on an early flight this morning I made it back into the office by a little after 1:00pm; not bad considering the flight was delayed more than an hour.  Anyway, having been out for three days and considering all the work I needed to catch up on, I was a busy, busy bee!  But still missing you through every breath...  I just couldn't wait to get out of work and get home to see you, Son.  It's amazing what your smile does for me.

Outside of that though, it was time for some good times, Conor.  A little Guatemalan home cookin' at Casa de Velasquez.  Uncle Nelson, Aunt Devin, Nelo, Cruz, Sandra, Manolo, Manny, Kina, and Jasmine all came to play with the Lion Heart while us adults were enjoying Momma Cheeky's home country specialty.  And let me tell you, hijo (that means 'son' en espanol), Momma Cheeky sure can cook...

Truly a wonderful night, Conor.  But now I'm wiped out, Boy'O.  And it's time for a good, long night's sleep.

I love you, Son.
