What's Left To Do, lil' flower girl?

I thought I might write myself an inspiring list this day. As I drove to work this early AM, thoughts of old beach trips with Heather rang through my mind. I always listen to the news now in the mornings, on NPR, and in fact I have to FORCE myself to listen to music. The exact opposite of how things used to be, I guess that is how a lot of my life has ended up. I learned some lessons that have made me the EXACT OPPOSITE OF HOW I USED TO BE. Saw a rad movie last night with Ryan Gosling called Half Nelson. It was brilliant. Brillianter than Running With Scissors which tried too hard, I thought. I only relate the two cause I saw that one the night before.

Hey I have an idea! Why don't we ALL write one of these on the blog. That includes Amy, Mom, Dad, and Joey.....!
