Naked Boy

We moved into our subdivision about 3 and a half years ago. Not long after moving in, we were greeted by a naked boy running around in his front yard. I am guessing that at that time he was around 2. Although it is not a daily occurance, it is a frequent occurance to see him in the yard. Sometimes he has shoes on (and nothing else) but usually he is completely naked.

A few weeks ago, we were heading out. As we were getting ready to pass naked boy's home, we slowed down to see if he would be in the yard and sure enough there he was. But since it was starting to get a little chilly out, he was wearing a shirt but nothing else as he rode his bicycle with its training wheels.

My main thought about this is in a time when Dateline NBC is showing a sting that happened about 75 miles from here, when John Mark Karr (although not found guilty of any crime but yet he admitted to things) was staying 20 miles away for a couple of weeks, and when Congressman Foley is sending explicit emails to minors you would think that Naked boy's parents would keep their child's nakedness indoors.

Internet

I think most of you know that I met my kidney donor through a website for local hockey fans. Obviously I am happy about that.

Six years ago today, the internet played another important part in my life. Six years ago I met my wife in person for the first time. We had met via the internet and talked on the phone and then finally met in person. I knew from the first time I met her that there was something special about her and I am glad she is in my life.

I love you honey!

Changes

So last week I shipped my dialysis machine back. Friday the company picked up all of the supplies. Saturday we went out of town for a quick overnight trip. It was weird but good to check into a hotel or go somewhere without having to plan about worrying about where to plug in the machine, packing up all of the supplies, etc. I am enjoying this.
