Aidan arrives for the summer…

My son, who spends far too much of the year in south Florida, is up for the summer. He will be up from May to August…making this the best summer ever. He is absolutely the single most wonderful “thing” I have ever had a hand in creating and leaves me more pleased and proud every day. Thus far, it appears he has absorbed the best parts of his mother and of me with little or none of the annoying baggage…granted, he has years to cultivate all sorts of annoying traits…but for now he is an absurd pleasure.

If you ever see a man gently starting to lead a young boy away from a display of video games, only to have the boy begin jumping up and down while saying, “Help, Help…I’m being repressed,” do say hi. (N.B. He is also practicing Ministry of Funny Walks walks ).
