Now, I know this is mostly girl stuff, but, there's some Dad content here too. Lindsay was the first little munchkin that Lisa put in my arms way back when I became a powdered dad. This was @20 years ago, but it still seems like yesterday. Then it was hurling the Frisbee at full force (no compromises for this little girl) on the beach in California (Seacliff State Beach, if you must know). And it was Lindsay who was had a skinned knee the first time she rode a bicycle (me running alongside), getting the stern mantra "We're rough, we're tough, we're a Navy family!". And throwing up driving to the first day of High school - and the second ---- And so many more great times. So, even though she is 24, it still seems like I'm loosing my little Lin....
Here is the first picture I remember taking of Lin, in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. See what I mean?
Fortunately, Noah is truly awesome guy, and will have the best shot of anyone I know at keeping Lin happy, safe, and sane. I've had the pleasure of getting to know him more closely over the past few months, and he is thoughtful, caring, sharp, and has a wicked sense of humor. Plus he plays cards. Unfortunately, he plays them better than I do; so, sometime in November I'll likely be eclipsed as the trickiest cardsharp in the family. Oh - I mean, after Faye, who, when she gets mad (or wants to have fun), runs me around completely ragged. So I go from #2 to #3. Oh, except for Lisa, who I am married to, and so, yeah, she is better too ;-)
Well, anyways, this is somewhat of a mixed bag for a dad. But, here's the kicker - the event is to be on a beach, where we can play beach volleyball AND throw a Frisbee - WOOHOO - WAY TO GO TEAM BEACH!
Oh, and let's get some sailing set up too, OK guys?
