A Thousand Words: Harper is 1!

Harper turned one last week. And even though I never stepped out of the country in 2009, it was the most adventurous year I've ever had. I never knew there was so much to discover in our living room. There are bears, cats, fuzz balls, reflections, and so much more. About a year ago I wrote a piece for WorldHum titled Adventure Dad. In the article I wrote about how the adventures were just beginning. However, I think I underestimated the level of adventure that Harper would bring into our lives.

Harper is big into books rights now. One of her favorites is The Very Cranky Bear. Harper helps with the sound effects. She has the cutest roar I've ever heard.

2010 is shaping up to take me to some far corners of the world, it's going to be tough leaving my sidekick behind.

A (few) thousand (weird) words

Really, what do you expect from a Chinese/Mongolian Grill located in Frankfurt, Indiana, where the high school’s mascot is a wiener dog? Love the honesty.

At an Irish bar in Chicago. At least the lobster’s have a chance. It’s hard enough winning stuffed animals, which are neither slimy nor alive, with a crane.

If you work at a colon & rectal clinic, I’m guessing that you hear your fare share of shameless wisecracks (wiseCRACKS, get it) each day. But when you label your parking spots like this, you’re just asking for it. This is a good photo to END the post.

A thousand words: School is in

And I complained about the hard plastic seats at my school that would stick to my legs in the summer time.

School is in on the island village of Kokata, Honduras (2005)

While there I taught the kids to play baseball.

I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

-William Butler Yeats

Harper and I – or rather our feet. What lessons will she have learned by the time her feet look like mine? A father can only wonder.
