The last few days have been interesting. My commuter car has not been doing well as of late. It started with an oil leak that drops oil onto the motor and exhaust, thereby creating a cloud of smoke that an Army Ranger battalion could use to conceal their movement. Ok, maybe not that big, but definitely annoying! Then the air conditioning went out. Not good in 106 degree weather. Lastly, the a/c compressor started making a horrible grinding noise. I was able to stop the grinding noise by removing the a/c, alternator, crankshaft belt and replacing it with a shorter belt, bypassing the a/c compressor all together. So now I am trying to sell an old car with an oil leak and no a/c. Oh yeah, and I'm selling the Porsche too. I need a shop before I get a project car.
Man today has felt rough.
Last night I watched "Stranger Than Fiction" with Michelle and I thought it was an awesome movie. The story was great, the actors were incredible and the movie moved me. It reminded me how much I appreciate creativity and wish I had more of it in my life. I went to bed impressed and thinking. Then I dreamt all night about weird things. Woke up and had to start reality. A project that I like, my spouse doesn't. A problem I don't want to deal with, but must. The reality that I'm responsible for me. I don't want to be responsible for me. Maybe that made today rough.
Here's to a good tomorrow.

Daniel, I haven't read your blog for months (years?) and am so sorry I haven't. I read back a couple weeks and really liked what you wrote. I especially liked how you encouraged fathers to validate their sons. As a mom, I'm learning to let go of my sons so they can become men. Anyway, I'm determined to become a faithful reader. And... your pictures of Tyler are awesome! Can't wait to see the shots of Carissa! Mom A.
