Wednesday

It's been a long time since I've been here. Now that we've been spending more time together the reality of being a father has forced me to make some very real adjustments to how I spend my time. This space has been a rare afterthought among the millions of things I have to get done every day. The road I've chosen has been a hard one.

It's been a year since the first time we went camping in Coatsville. There had been a rainstorm earlier in the week and the Brandywine River had flooded. We went hiking and exploring and lit fireworks and ate good food. We lucked out with the weather. After I had dropped you off I went back to the campsite to stay overnight and leave in the morning. On the way back I not only got lost on the backroads I also hit a dear. My car still has the imprint of the deer on the hood and the bumper is still smashed up.

The past year has been a lot of fun. I wonder if you will remember the stinging shower at the hostel, grilling chicken at the back of the hotel that was waaaaay too salty, riding in Dan's truck with Cali on the beach, catching sharks, making a tent in the hotel room to sleep under, or exploring the mountains and listening to the echos from the gun range?
