36 years
Thirty-six years ago today, I graduated from high school. Sometimes, I wonder where all those years have gone. Have you ever read Peter Pan? I mean the original, not the children’s book.
“Pan, who and what are you?”
“I’m youth, I’m joy,” Peter answered at a venture, “I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.”
I like that line: “I’m youth; I’m joy.”
 From left to right: my friend Mark (who's now a director at a cybersecurity company); my old friend Geoff (who's a psychiatrist now, but was an amateur terrorist in high school), me, my friend Mike (who's a CIO for a company in New York), and my friend John (I haven't seen him in a long time; I heard he's a nurse now). |
Sometimes, I have vague memories of the young man I once was: My eyes full of hope, my world nothing but endless possibilities.
Sadly, you won’t have any idea what I’m talking about until many years from now.
Love you, dad

Father’s Day
Sophia, It’s Father’s Day. It’s not like I’m expecting some great reward. All I really want is for you to know that you have father who loves you and thinks of you. I never wanted to be separated from you like this. This wasn’t my decision.
Memories of another time, Father’s Day 2005, at a restaurant called Joe’s On The Green on Kauai with Morey and your mom. Angry little Percy was nowhere to be seen.

Dinner tonight….
Sophia, I’d love for you to join me for dinner tonight. I’m thinking of you, wondering what you’re doing right now.
Love, dad
