Today

(I posted this on Facebook, but all the line-endings were removed. So I thought I'd copy it here where I have a little more control over the formatting.)

Some things I'm going to try not to think about today:

• I'm now closer to 50 than 40
• When my father was my age, I was 21
• When my grandmother was my age, I was born
• When Henry (our youngest) is a senior in high school, I'll be 59

Instead, I'm going to concentrate on the feeling that my best is still ahead of me.

October photos

I uploaded our photos from October to Flickr. You'll find details at www.spitzer.us.

October was Henry's second birthday (we had a couple small parties: one at Skypark and one at his school). Elleda and Gabe enjoyed playing soccer in a league for their first time. And of course, Halloween was a big deal.
