Never before have I wanted to put on a dive suite and bust a move until now.

The Return of Royalty

I found the above picture by Saul Loeb on the Seattle Times web site. I was unlucky to be at work when President Obama was sworn in but I was able to look at all of the online pictures and coverage once I got home. The one thing that struck me was when the media started covering the Ball’s that they were attending. I was never alive to see President Kennedy, but over the years I sure have seen enouph old film of the guy and his wife. When I was watching President Obama give his little speach before he led his wife around the dance floor for a couple of turns it reminded me of the film reels that I had seen of President Kennedy and the thought that shot into my head was “Royalty has returned to the White House”. I hope I’m not wrong because if I’m right and one man inspired a nation to go to the moon, just think of what we may be inspired to do.

My Best Friend

There are some moments in time where I can see so clearly that it make me wonder why this isn’t how it is all of the time. I will admit that a little booze and a sappy movie do help in the crystallization of these thoughts. I am no saint, its true. I have to say I miss my best friend tonight. He was everything I am and everything I hope to be. He was my one true friend and my first love. He taught me how to behave, how to shoot a gun, how to play baseball and how to ski. I used to love to watch him cook when I was young and when I was older I loved to help him in the kitchen. Side by side, sharp instruments in hand, making a mess of everything we touched yet creating something that should show up on a menu in some fancy restaurant. My father died a little over two years ago and I still miss him like it was only yesterday. He was my friend, my best friend and he showed me so may things that I can’t count them anymore. His passing was hard, it sill hurts every day. I want to tell him so much everything thats happened so far. Yet he gave me a gift in the end that I couldn’t live without. I look around me, at how far I’ve come, at were I’ve been, and what has come my way in those two years. I’ve met the love of my life who loves me in return. I’ve gone back to school with support that I’ve never known and found something I love to do. We’ve bought a house, small, but our first and have made it into a home. In two years my life has changed in a way that I could never have imagined, new friend, old friend, new adventures, old adventures, and a whole new way of looking at things. I miss you so very much dad and I thank you for the new gifts in my life. They are all truly amazing.

Love your daughter.
