memory lane

In New Jersey today visiting with M and little e. She's grown so much since I last saw her in January! M and I spent the evening looking through pictures and watching some old home movies that she's taken of e...especially the ones that included G and myself. It makes me wish we were living closer and could participate a bit more in her day to day life. At the same time it makes me very glad that I got the webcam and that she'll get to have me in her life a bit more solidly during the next year when any move back east looks to be financial suicide.

Also very happy that she's no longer too shy to talk to me on the phone. Did I mention that our first full conversation occured a week ago? It was Monday night as I was on my way home from work. Stressed to the max with everything that was going on with impending layoffs and a doctor appointment that I'd avoided too long, but she took me away from that for a full five minutes or so as we talked about the much more important issue of upcoming Halloween costumes.

I like to think that our first real conversation and this visit are the things that I'll remember when I look back on October of 2003.
