Spencer (my 18 year old) and I went for a swim at CAC last night.
Almost every time I go for a run or swim I ask both boys if they want to go.
It is just part of my ritual. Their part of the ritual is - "huh, what, are you kidding, no way".
Last night was different. Spenc is getting a little more "homey", maybe because he will going off to Tech, maybe it is just my imagination. Either way I was thrilled to have him along. I did not get in much of a workout and would trade all of my workouts to be able to spend time with my sons, we were in the water for about 30 minutes. I gave him a few pointers and if you have kids you know there is a fine line that is very easy to cross with too much advice. I believe that I stayed on the good side of the line last night (unusual for me). I thought that his stroke was pretty good although he got tired very fast, faster than he expected. Who knows, maybe he will come again, maybe Travis (17) will grace me with his presence. One can only hope.
This morning? I blame it on the alarm.

Keep the parenting tips coming-I'm storing them away!
And get yourself a new alarm or I will get your phone number and call you in the middle of track practice...I don't think Rita would be too happy that you slept in either:-)
