A bad habit.
Last night I caught myself catching an old episode of The Wonder Years. Remember that show? Based in the 60's with Kevin Arnold crushing on Winnie Cooper for something of a decade, with inner dialogue you just don't hear much these days. Loved it.
Quote of the day:

| coffee. it rules my life....and i have no regrets |
I think of my own wonder years. The awkward conversations....bad hair days....braces....the unfolding drama of high school lunch. In some ways I kid that it hasn't been long enough to think back fondly on those years. But in other ways I kind of miss it. All that curiosity of what was to come. The whole world in your back pocket.
Someday my own kids will enter that part of their life. I can only imagine what a house of teenagers will be like. Actually, I really don't want to think about that right now. Maybe I won't worry about my bad habit sipping coffee. I'll probably need a lot of it in the coming years to keep me sane. Waiting up for them to come home on a Friday night....may the teenage gods look down fondly on us.
In other non-teenage things.
Mark and Caleb came home after a fun-filled cub scout trip in the mountains. I know this will become an annual tradition, they had so much fun! We're even thinking about getting all four of us out there next time. We love us a good adventure.
