The strings that connect us.

It was my 3 year old son's first day in a new class at preschool this morning. I ran late for work getting him ready and out the door. He slept most of the ride but woke up a couple of miles away from the school and we talked about a new class and new friends to meet -- he seemed ok.

Once we got inside, he wanted to go to his old class and I reminded him he had a new one and we walked through a different door and made our way in. There were roughly ten other kids -- a couple he knew, but he stayed close by and looked a little uneasy. I met his teacher and then sat down with him while we looked around at all the toys. After about 10 minutes I got up to leave and saw a look on Sam's face I had never seen before. His eyes teared up and he buried his face in my leg and asked me to stay. Sam cries now and again like all other kids; when he's hurt, when he doesn't get his way. But this was very different and really pulled at something inside of me. I had never seen Sam genuinely afraid before. Even though I was running late, I stayed with him another 20 minutes until more kids came and he seemed to settle down.

I thought about him as I drove to work and the broad and strong connection I have with him. I hope that he knows and understands that I always think about him and will be there when he needs me.

Pixies "Doolittle" Available Next Week For Rock Band

I know whole albums have been released for Rock Band, but this is the first one I'm really interested in. This is my favorite Pixies album and "Wave Of Mutilation", the one song from this album already in Rock Band, is one of my favorites to play. This might be the spark that gets me back into playing Rock Band. I've taken a hiatus of sorts to play Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 and GTA IV.

Of course, I'm not surprised.

I saw the Kings lose to the Lakers in Game 7 in 2002. It was obvious something was askew. It is one of the reasons I only went to one game this year and never watch the NBA on TV anymore.
