I'm getting old. Jake just turned one, I've got aches and pains in places I never used to have them. You know the kind that keep you from moving right? Yeah, yeah. It's a part of life, but I'm not ready yet! But hey, I can't complain. I'm happily married, have a wonderful wife, a good job, a healthy happy little boy.

The kid walks! Amazing! But, boy is he lazy too.

I've found my muse again! I've got this story that I'm writing and I'm finding the zest for writing that I didn't have with other beginnings. I just finished reading Nicholas Sparks' The Guardian and it got me to thinking about this story. It's not quite complete inside my head, but that's okay. The fact that it got me to look forward to writing is cause in itself for celebration. What unfolds and whatever twists and turns become of this story, I'm happy in the effort.

The wife is leaving this weekend for a business trip to New York. Frankly, I'm a little nervous. It'll be the first time I've got the Monster to myself overnight...for 3 nights. I know we'll manage, but it's the "what if" that I'm more nervous about than anything. We'll be staying the night at my in-laws and that is a small comfort. I just hope that everything will be fine.

Anyway, I know it's been a while since I've blogged. Not that I've forgotten, just haven't had much to blog about lately.

'Cause I said so!
