Still no baby. We’re spending the gorgeous evenings riding to the pond and playing on the little state beach - even after the lifeguards have gone home. Hopefully this weekend I’ll post another announcement.
I like that metaphore - no lifeguards. I see it as taking responsibility for my own adventures - good or ill. Intellectual adventures - seeking new challenges and mentors. Family adventures - having that new baby even though it means more years of diapers, more 4-year-old opposition. So I see myself now on the cusp of many changes with no need for a lifeguard.
Meanwhile, I’m listening to Pandora and it’s a lot of fun.
