I had just about given up on this blog and the more time that passed between posts the more I convinced myself that there was no way I could catch up on all the events that had happened over the past year. Let it go, I thought, and let it remain what it was, the meanderings a of a man surprised by joy.
But …
Waking early, before wife and daughter, has once again become the pattern. So I sit, for awhile, read the news of the day, drink my coffee and think. I received an email the other day reminding me that my domain name renewal is coming up and for a moment considered letting it expire, but my ego got the best of me and being a father at fifty, one of a growing demographic, I’ve decided to hang on to it a little longer.

A year has passed since my last post and the temptation to fill in the blanks is strong. I won’t though. They’ll fill themselves in as needed if I become more consistent with this thing. My wife and daughter remain the light in my life and the serenity of the morning envelopes my heart.
Amazing photo and great words, Drew! Hope you are well!
Thank you sir.
Hi Drew — found you via Google. Hope you continue this or — think about opening it up to other contributors. I was thinking of doing a blog and found yours. I’m due to become a FAF (54 actually) in DECEMBER.
