I am writing as I go. Yes, today my love and child are gone to the lake without me once again. Days like today, make me miss them all the more. It's funny how when people are there in front of you, you see them. When they are gone, you do not. Hmmm. Funny that way. But, I do see them even though they are now in a car speeding to some lake named after a pelican (weird Minnesotans). I see them in my head, in my random stops for coffee when that happens, or in the letters of words I write. I know they are alright, and I should not fret. So, I will not. So, here I am on this blog thingy. It's cool. I ran into a blog today I had no idea existed. Now, I have this friend who lives in Reno, and he has assorted other blogs listed on his as "friends." Well, I was intrigued by one address so I clicked it. It took me to a blog that I was happy to read - a woman who I once loved. I don't want to embarass her or make her think I am a freak, but I was happy to see her blog and see the pics of her family. I am happy she is happy. Sounds like her life is about to change once again, as all of ours is I guess. That's what happens as we age. Sucks, but that's the point. I don't necessarily like aging, but you know what the best part about it is? The random evils of adolesence are behind me, the stuck in nowhere mode of post-college life is gone, and my career is, well, is. And, I get to share my life my love and my child. And the cat who thinks he owns the house, but until he makes payments and uses the toilet, I don't think so. More later...
