...Here is a pic of Coop sitting in his old swing (Knox will get his crack at it soon).

Crazy day yesterday. Had a hard time getting up for work. Sat in my cubicle all day, then raced home to meet Jack to fix a sink at the rental. By the time I made it back to The Nail, it was time to unload a truck-full of wood, and go to the store to pick up the tool chest that Wendy bought me. Then off to Aldi's to get salt for the water softner. This was the best part of my day, because I got to hang out with Coop, and my old man.

After putting Coop to bed, Tomstang and I got to have a few beers. Good to talk with him. He reminded me of how fast life goes. "One day you'll wake up and your 60.", he said with his eybrows raised in amazement. We talked for a while about the uncertain future, and he reassured me that no matter what happens, Coop and Knox will be well taken care of. This made me smile, and feel a sense of warmth that a cannot describe. I am proud to have a father like him. He understands what is truly important in life.

...Smile, today could be your last.
