You're not archaeologists, are you?

Día de los Muertos.

And I'm honoring him by sending his kids to bed without a bedtime story (that was sarcastic). I'm honoring him by getting buzzed on Torched Cherry rum and diet cola. I'm honoring him by listening to songs on YouTube and singing out loud. I'm honoring him by wearing his scarf. I don't want to take it off.

I miss him so much. It's palpable today. 12 years ago a little sperm had sought out a little egg and its name ended up being "Baxter".

Everyone thinks I am so strong. I am not. I am weak. I am being carried by currents that are not directed by me. I am a wreck. I try not to show it so much but I really am.

I'm strong on the surface...not all the way through...

I walked up the big hill near work. I didn't wimp out halfway through and go down a side street. I went 3/4 of the way up (the last 1/4? I'm not sure where it goes). Then I walked back to work the long way.

I was listening to The Killers Sam's Town. The Killers provide some of the best walk-your-ass-off music. Part of the way through my walk I wanted to dance my way through the residential neighborhood but I didn't want to look silly.

Anyway, the walk was great. About 20-25 minutes (6 1/2 songs) and I feel pretty good.
