I went mountain biking this morning...did 37 miles in the woods. My youngest daughter texted me and asked me to come get her when I got back. I did, and she wanted me to take her 'driving'....she's barely 15. I let her drive my truck for an hour and a half. Then she wanted to go visit some of my family.....and later she wanted to go back to my house, where we played air hocky and watched TV. We spent about 7 hours together before she left. It was a good day.
