and chickadees on my regular feeder. The 3 kittens are curled up together napping in a sunny spot on the deck. Today I had a mink run under my feet on the beach!
Who are you, Jack Hannah? What have you done with Barb?

Did you watch the men's swimming on the Olympics last night? No - I wasn't just looking at the Speedos! The American kid who won the gold. They kept talking about how his dad had left the family. How it had affected him. How he even walked his sister walk down the aisle at her wedding. I wondered if the dad was watching the Olympics and heard that. I was hoping so. Then I was hoping Chuck was. And your Ex. And all the other idiot walkaways. Of course, then I remembered that they always justify what they did. They could bash that walkaway dad - it was NOTHING like their situtation. (yeah right).
Anyway, I was thinking of my son, Brandon. And your son. And K's son. And all the other teen sons whose dads left them while they were growing up. I sure hope they learn from their dads' mistakes and don't become them.
Yup, that would have been some story if I hadn't heard it all before AND lived it. As for mine, well I'm sure he was watching. We never missed the Olympics. Even had to go to Atlanta. Actually we were supposed to go to Salt Lake as well since his Bro lives there but he cancelled at the last minute, at the time I didn't realize why. Surprise! Anyway, I hope his Dad heard every last word and saw all of the love that this family had for each other inspite of what he did. What I wonder is to have a child that reaches such extraordinary heights, and not to be a part of that, well wonder how that in your face stuff feels. You know how we all say that Karma is a bitch. There ya go.........
