We were psyched to discover the other dad exploring the tide pools with us happened to be a marine biologist.

He was psyched he finally got to yell, "Yes, I'm a marine biologist!" on a beach.

Every time we go away I bring along a couple of nice outfits for dinner.

And yet every night I find myself sitting in a restaurant late, tired, muddy, sore and dressed in play clothes. Good thing the wine doesn't discriminate.

I'm not sure, but there just might be a life lesson in here.

I've been struggling, but proud, to get up into wheel with a little help from our fearless leader, Jen at Milton Yoga. Struggle, struggle. Each time she would tell me that my face and shoulders were really tense. "It's the tension that's holding you back. Smile." So today that's what I did. I got in position like every other day, but this time I smiled. And I popped right up. 

Summer is way better.

In the great big sky I saw one silly-shaped little cloud and let out a sigh of relief knowing Dr. Seuss was in charge today.
