Byron just kicked me. I was lying in bed, on my back as I like to do, and I felt his foot jump and push on my stomach. Then again and again. I denied it at first and then put my hand to the place where I felt movement, and when I felt it on the outside, with my hand, I decided it must be him.
I went to tell Neil, who was playing his recent infatuation of a video game, Red Dead Redemption. I laid on the couch next to him and said that I thought Byron was kicking.

1990 was a big year. At the beginning of it, I caught Donnie Wahlberg’s sweaty shirt at a New Kids on the Block concert. At the end, I turned 16 and helped my parents negotiate their divorce. The middle brought the National Bridge Championship in Boston, where I fell in love with the city and fell in love with a boy for the first time. It’s also where I learned that my mom is a really big fish, however peculiar the pond.

I wonder how often children’s perceptions cause big-time problems.
After getting my boys in bed, my 5-year-old, A.J., stood on the bed and played. I scolded. Later, he stood and ripped a painting off the wall. I scolded. Later, he got out of bed to play. I YELLED.
When I finally got the little boogers settled down for good, A.J. said, “Mommy, when you came in the room, you scared me. I thought you were going to hurt me.”
I had been rereading through my European Marie Claire Mags when I came across an article entitled "How I survived 40 Lashes". This story is incredible in so many ways, this young lady really turned a horrible experience in to something empowering.

All graduates today seem to be looking for JOBS. But to me that feels inappropriate for you. What good is high salary or great business power compared with artistic creativity? -Excerpt from a letter from my Grandpa, regarding my college graduation, 5/10/2008.
I read this the day it arrived, but it apparently did not have a grand affect on me then. Maybe I was caught up in graduation mode, just ready to exit the college to which I had vowed four years of my life.
