Dad's birthday

4/29/2006

0 Comments

 
Today is the birth of my father. I am a slack son and stayed busy this morning because of TV baseball, so I didn't have the time to call until after lunch. He knows I love him. I did send him a picture of the two of us from the Final Four. I don't have many pictures with just me and my parents, but this was a great one. Me and my dad, both of us at the Final Four, just smiling and enjoying life. For me, that is an easy thing. For my parents ... well, they are growing older. I wish I could say a simple notice would take care of them, but they are older, more mature and dealing more with real life. The time has come for them to realize they are no longer spring chickens. I wish they were. Hell, I wish I was. But they realize more and more life can be tricky and taking care of yourself is very important. But even on your birthday, it is ok to be bad. So Dad, I hope you enjoyed your birthday. I wish I was there to enjoy it with you.

Instead I was here in Nashville, enjoying SEC baseball and time spent with friends. Steve and Kim Ekhoff were in town for the Music City Marathon. Steve and I were buds from back in our NIU days. Kim has just listened to me bitch about women and relationships sense she met me. However, she noticed a change in me this time. She realizes I'm happy and ready to move on. It makes me feel very good about myself and what I do. Regardless, we all hung out downtown tonight and acted as if we were still hangin' at Fatty's. Hell, that is how I roll.

A quick update ... life is great. I'm working my butt off, but the month of May will be very busy. I head, for the first time, to the Kentucky Derby next weekend. The next weekend is NCAA tennis regionals, with the following being Greg's wedding. The next weekend is SEC baseball in Hoover. A busy month, but well worth it.

Just keep things rollin' around here ... I will keep listening to my new Edwin McCain cd.
