i cannot believe–
the same guy who shaved
a single mutton chop just
to see to if anyone would
notice (and then forgot)
the same guy who vowed
to wear black pants and a
white shirt for an entire
year (but failed because of a girl)
the very same guy who ran
nude with us across
Norlin quad and into the
shockingly cold night (after some hesitation)
the exact same guy who breathed
in the Pacific after we drove
to the edge of the continent to
sleep under Redwood trees (eventually)
–will soon be a father.
i cannot believe the guy who
shaved
vowed
ran
breathed
will soon be a father.
but i am confident he will
be brilliant (and quite the
embarrassment during her
teenage years).
the sieve and the sand 
you’re making it more and more difficult to keep my identity online a secret…
that said… this picture is pretty much fantastic… i’m 1/2 mortified at just how far I’ve come since that picture, and i’m 1/2 thoroughly impressed at just how sexy i was back then.
that trip… paradise point in oregon… my socks smelled SOOOO bad… but that was an awesome trip… remember the red woods and when ben peed his pants on the Goonies beach?
ah to be young again.
