The Mark(ings) of Zorro
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

Damn...
 
For Christmas last year, the middle child (OK, they're not children anymore to anyone but their parents) gave my us calendars she had made. It was a cute gift because they fit inside a CD jewel case and each month has a picture from when they really were kids. March is a picture of the three kids and me from sometime in the early 80s. I had a beard then, and it was still brown/black and there was no gray around the temples. *sigh* Their faces were so young and so fresh...all life's doors were still open for them.
 
The years go way too fast! I am trying to slow them down this time by paying close attention to what my Dulce Bebe is doing. I savor her. I spend close to 8 hours per day, 5 days per week watching her grow. It is an amazing process, and one I did not spend enough time paying attention to when my kids were growing up. I will not make the same mistake which this ray of sunshine.
