PARCEL POST: MONTH TWO, SOMEDAY

Dear Olive,

The first book that you ever bought Gabriel was Someday, by Alison McGee.  I read it over and over to him as an infant.  I cried every time.  It's funny how having a baby makes your life feel so full circle.  This book still reminds me of that each time I read it.  Enjoy your care package for Johnny's month #2!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY... WITH MEAT

Dear Olive,

Happy Father's Day to the men!  And be it bacon....

Barbecue...

Or a full on meat cake...

There are no more deserving carnivores then them.

Have a great one with yours!

THESE STREETS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BRAND NEW

Dear Olive,

You would have loved New York this weekend.  Lunch in Little Italy and breakfast at Tiffany's, it couldn't be beat.  It seems the consummate location for extroverts.

For some, cities drain energy, the stimulation becomes overwhelming.  But I never feel more alive than when surrounded by architecture built over lifetimes and a multitude of lifestyles. 

So I incessantly played this song in my mind.
