Most mornings I go out into the world having no clue what I’m going to face… and no clue what I’m going to write about in this blog. Somehow, most days brings something I feel that it’s important for me to reflect on. Today it came in the form of a folded piece of notebook paper that my friend Ron handed me at lunch. Ron’s son Nick and Sam were friends from the time they were 4 or 5  years old. Ron told me that about 10 years ago, when Nick was 5, he an Ron were working on writing skills. They were writing short silly Dr. Seuss like stories for practice. Nick came up with the following short story about Sam and me which Ron wrote down … and found today in his office as he cleaned up . <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve read that paper so many times today. I’m so glad that Ron kept it. Nick and his friend Nick R. played “If I could I would”<\/a> at Sam’s memorial service last year. <\/p>\n

The rest of the day was a mix of phone conference calls. I managed to squeeze in a quick haircut. with our friend Deb. She told me today that she’s getting married in June.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I left a little early from work to get in some xmas shopping. First stop was Fire and Metal where I saw my friends Marty and Doug. Their son Jonathon has just moved to Vietnam where’s he’s working for Unesco. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I then went back to Queen City steel to get a little more metal for a present I’m making for\/with Gabe.. It’s cool to have a winch to load stuff on your roof rack <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I got home around 6 and soon after headed up to the baby shower that Deb, Diane and  Jen  were throwing for Hannah and Dave.. They’re due on Dec 21st…  but I’m betting for sooner… look at that belly !  I think pregnant people are so beautiful. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I couldn’t help noticing Gabe’s beautiful feet were also at the party.  Socks and feet that only a father could love. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He wanted me to show everyone that he lost a toe nail.. yuck !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking of baby showers.. I heard tonight form my friend Glenn in Australia that his wife Liesel just gave birth to their third child.. baby Samantha (love that name !) .. this is the wonderful circle of life. Here’s Samantha with her brother Thomas and sister Katie<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

Well.. that’s all for tonight.. More tomorrow. Gnite all, gnite Sam..
