10:17pm – well, let’s see. a good amount of celebration, some reflection.
the utter and complete lack of energy/motivation/reserve is kinda freaking me out. Yet I have hope.

I’m looking at myself, my dad, his two other sons. how many lifetimes ago was that? I can’t tell ya… and somehow the universe allowed me to traverse a path were I also get to look back 12 months, to when I added the most defined and authentic life to my collection – father.

in my arms, eyes wide open, my son. whoaa. Jun ’17, Hobbit house

today he and I played ‘jab and push Dad’s face away as he sings and rocks me; then I’ll giggle uncontrollably’ – it was a fun game. I’m astonished at how things have progressed in 12 months – he walks, he kinda talks, he listens and responds… just amazing.

a toast – to our good lives! /scott & rumbly/ Jun ’18, at hobbit house

kids. parents. moms. dads. what a world we live in, eh?

ciao,
