sitting in a 2 bay suite at the World center for $39 per night (my friend Ken made a call) to get out of moms hair and spread out a bit. nice time to be with heather and baby. bella is starting to talk a bunch. understands what things are and points and says things you ask her to say or find. loves to say "pretty baby." she also likes to say "happy baby." our home was scheduled to close on thursday, however we called it off on wed morning because they just were not ready. defective tile throughout the entire first floor was the kicker. builder agreed to pay any costs associated with the delay, so this week I will probably be ordering room service all week. blessing in disguise because it is supposed to rain all weekend and the movers would not have been very effective. next week it will be perfectly sunny.

our original plan was to drive down to Sarasota, but then we learned of tropical storm betty, decided to keep in close to home. how about the world center. I understand what you are doing below. you are getting me ready for high school in little league and getting me ready for college in high school.

I smile a lot when you explain to me how busy you are and how I don’t understand, but trust me, like you once said “you haven’t learned everything I taught you” and I know that. In fact, I will venture to say, that in maybe ten or fifteen years you might hit yourself in the forehead and say - “Damn my old man taught me that 15 years ago”.

So please understand - I understand.

Now having said that I want you to know the strategy I have used with you since you were born; I never - ever worried about where you were in your life; I always focused on “where you were going” - what direction where you headed in.

If you will remember growing up the focus for me was always trying to get you to the next “level” - I truly believe in life if you get to level of “ripe” then you start to rot;

I have been to the next level; moving from Indian Wells Court was no different then moving from Orange Tree / to that Condo / to Hidden Beach; the only difference was 20 years; same problems, same concerns, some challenges.

So please understand - I can never, just like you will never be able to “let go” EVER that is just what parents are all about.

I am not telling you what to do or when or how (okay sometimes) but most of the time I am just letting you know what happening on the “next level” for no other reason then - I’ve BEEN THERE. Just trust me when I tell you I’VE BEEN there!

Love you
