Sweet Angel

I am not sure what it is about having a daughter, but it's amazing and strange to me how down right cool it is. I think of the movie with Steve Martin who's daughter is getting married, I forget the name of the movie, but the one where he can't believe his daughter is old enough to get married. As he remembers her younger years he freaks out because he is not ready to let go. I feel the same way sometimes and have been freaking out already and little Charlie is only two and a half. What a beautiful sweet angel she is. So, you can probably tell I'm home alone; dad pines away again. The clan comes home for good tomorrow. Dom, Charlie and Simon flew in to spend the weekend with me then returned to play in the wilderness for one last hurrah. We are gearing up for September, which means back to a somewhat usual routine. I can't wait. For the first time in many years I can say, I'm ready for the fall... let the craziness begin.

Isn't it amazing that these little girls grow up so fast? Charlie's mind just blows me away sometimes. I can totally see myself being "The Father of the Bride" someday.

Philosopher? I don't think so. Just trying to be observant. I have realized that if I can put words to the everyday nominal events, people relate. I am trying to grow my skills at relating especially in terms of speaking in front of people.
