Corny, I know....

When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.
John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

Being a daddy has opened a whole new set of emotions in me that I never knew I had. One of those emotions (particularly since Evan Miles is 550 miles away) is longing. I would REALLY haved liked to spend the day with my son, even if it was in the NICU. I feel I need to take advantage of the opportunities now while he still young so that when he's ages 9-17 and way too cool for family, I will have (hopefully) given Evan the tools for good decision making.

Your daddy expierenced your heart at the tip of of his finger and listened. He contempleated the vastness of an atom and the small size the of the universe. All in all, your daddy knows he never questions his love for his son.

Pn Adventure Hall of Fame

This short one was when we were on the way back to Henderson from Reno. Maissie needed relief after we had been stopped for a while in a construction zone. The flag person was nice enough (or mean enough) to let her use the port-a-potty they had on site. As Maissie was finishing, the traffic started to move....hurryhurryhurry!! qualifies for the newly established pn adventure hall of fame.

OK. Dad Pn HallofFame story. When we went to New England in 1989, Dad was speeding like mad on some toll road to get to a rest room and came over the hill to find a highway patrol station. We didn't get a ticket, but it didn't help anybody's bladder jejeje







This is my new favorite movie.

I am so incredibly grateful for Evan Miles

If they turned off the machines, I think little Evan would last about five minutes. I am so incredibly grateful that Evan wasn't born in a less developed part of the world....or 5 years ago when his chances for survival were 50/50. Hearing stories about not that long ago when they took the babys straight to the morgue when they were born before their lungs were fully developed makes me feel grateful. I'm happy Evan is where he is afforded such intensive care. I am so incredibly grateful.

I work with Anthony whose mother was 1lb at birth in the 50's. I am so incredibly grateful.

Kent, A friend from San Clemente, thinks Evan is up to something that can't be waited for. That remains to be seen, but he has already had an impact on the lives of others, and become a support system for those who really need it, just by being a fighter. I am so incredibly grateful.


Keep Fighting Evan Miles! The whole world is rooting for YOU!

Thanks for sharing these photos.

Right NOW adventuring!!

Right Now Adventuring is finding something every second of everyday in every situation, to be excited about. Some times its easier than others, and the more cognizant practice you have, the better the practice fits.

I've started this blog as a substitute for journaling and for keeping track of my experiences and ideas. Suddenly, the importance of where I'm headed weighs more than myself.....everybody, join me in giving Evan Miles a warm welcome to planet Earth!!
