Enjoying the Moment
Even as every atom of my being screams "get your own place" I am trying to enjoy the simple pleasures of being home with my family.
Today, I was distracted from watching TV by Janie's shrieks of joy coming from the backyard. A squirtgun war was in full force, the sprinkler was gushing obscene amounts of water on the pavement, and the mosquitos were in full force.
I grabbed my camera and caught some of the moments on film (well, digital pixels) and even managed to tape some of it on my new video camera.
Some day, when I've exhausted 10 years of my life in blissful solitude, having eschewed the pleas of my lonely family, I will revisit that videotape and remember the simple joys of family life.
Until then, I'm going to lock myself in the guest room and plot ways to escape.
