Road Trip

Well we had a Saturday where I was required to go to Dallas for a couple of club games. I decided to take Alec with me for some father and son time. Heres a couple of observations of my oldest.

*The first 15 minutes of the trip he fit mores words into our conversation than people in the Republic of China. (not sure its a Republic but the words flowed better)

*The boy can read three books on the way to Dallas and back. I had trouble putting in a CD there and back.

*He now requires a Big Mac value meal. Kids meals are gone - I feel a tad bit older today.

*The thrill of watching your Dad coach soccer is right up there with counting the number of people in the Republic of China.

*He really doesn't care that the words Poke'mon and Yu-go-uh' are lost on his 35 year old father - he will be patient and explain every facet of the games to me.

*On the way home he was acting like he had been on the road for twenty hours - I felt like it.

The best was though, as only he could say it, "I love you Dad and I had fun today."
