I don't remember being invited to any parties here in Mt Vernon, as a stay at home dad. Maybe I used up all my party hours years ago as a student at Cornell College. I remember those days of wondering why all my classmates seemed to party with such passion, purpose and with such heart. I was taking learning seriously, like all the riches of my future experiences would depend on it. A couple of years ago while on a solo drive across America, somewhere in the beautiful south eastern rolling hills of Wyoming was a lone billboard saying, "What is the purpose of education?"
No invites for morning coffee or afternoon lunch. No meeting with any bosses. No meetings with any fellow worker bees. MSNBC plays in the background reminding me of the choices of Regis and Kelly or another disaster happening somewhere. Today, it's the fires of Southern California. I see myself on Mt Soledad gazing down at the fires in Rancho Santa Fe, hoping the library survives. I love San Diego, loved my life there.
I am excited, I found a new stay at home dad to communicate with at my first online convention at eComXpo. I have great hopes of integrating and sharing our experiences, stories, and everything we own into incredible riches of seeing all our dreams manifesting. We both know we live in a castle and kingdom of amazing freedom and bliss at having the opportunity of sharing our time, our energy, our love with our children. But now I feel I have a real friend who understands my concern for seeing blood coming out of Makiah's right ear this morning and my excuse of having to leave this conversation to take my eight year old, special needs son to his new really sexy beautiful intelligent doctor.
Later Scott, my neighbor has a corvette too, mostly for parades. Have a most perfect day.
ps. I like the golden apples with bites taken. "What is the purpose of education, anyway?
