has been an emotional roller-coaster here at the house.

THE BOY lost his bottom two front teeth. He’s now missing all four of his front teeth. Eating is going to require an entirely new skill set for him.

As I type this, I’m listening to Nickleback’s Photograph and thinking how easily it could be a country song. It reminds me how good a friend Scott the Scared is to me. After four decades he is still there for me when I need him. Thanks buddy, once again I owe you. Nobody means to me what you do and I don’t care how gay that sounds because you know what I mean.

Stay is a strange movie that could have been a lot better. Good Night and Good Luck is a good art film. It makes you think and has a really good point, but is not something that you are going to hate yourself if you miss it.

The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien has always been on my recommended reading list. Now it is on the local high school reading list too. About time they put a solid piece of contemporary writing on it. Check it out, you’ll be impressed.

Give somebody a squeeze a remind them you love them. Odds are they need to hear it today.

Later.
