Some Days Are Nice In Their Simplicity

Yesterday was a nice day off.

I had coffee with my daughters. See, staggered school start times allow me to have coffee with one, take her to school, pick up the other, have coffee, then take her to school. I view these times as very important...sure, some days, nothing deep or necessarily important gets discussed, but I think the pattern of my girls knowing that they get uninterrupted time with Dad keeps the lines of communication open. Yesterday was somewhat unremarkable as far as discussion, but enjoyable just hearing about normalcy.

Came home and had a serious nap.

The girls came home from school, filled us in on their day, did homework and headed off for extracurricular activities.

I had a softball game. Our fall league is making up 3 rainouts so we're having to play into November, and the three weeks off showed in my play. In fact, I can't remember playing so poorly in years. Our team lost, too, in the last inning which made it worse. But it was fun playing anyways.

I came home and hung out with Tracy and we watched C.S.I. Miami. It was supposed to be a television event according to the radio advertisement...it wasn't, but we like that show anyway.

And then I went to bed after watching a bit of Tom Hanks on Letterman.

Nothing happened, really. And it was grand.
