December 13, 2000 - Wednesday
I'm several hundred miles away from Harry today, but I did spend some time yesterday and today with a good friend and her two children, one of whom is just a month younger than Harry. She's a little smaller and weighs a little less than Harry. I know that because I carried her about on a couple of occasions and while there's nothing earthshaking about that minor feat, it does occur to me how little desire I would have had to do that just a few years ago. Now, I'm a practiced father with a back that's often sore, a body that has consumed more coffee in the last month than at any point in my life, and a solid technique for handling one year-olds. And, I like it.
