who says you can never go home again? i did this weekend. well eventually. after "mechanical problems" in philadephia i finally got in some four hours after i was orginially supposed to.
but i got to my wife and daughter then spent the next hour talking to my mom. saturday. well saturday was family the unending comings and goes of family. it was strange to see my mother's friends whom i've known for years, get so excited to see my daughter. i've known these women for the better part of twenty years...hell almost thirty... some of them i might actually admitt to having a crush on. (well at least one) the others just have a nice warm soft spot in my heart.
then there is family. it was strange. old women that have watched me grow from a child to a man getting misty eyed at me having a daughter. my aunt crying as she hugged me was just down right weird. i love my aunts, don't get me wrong but god damn my mother's middle sister is a nutcase. i love her daughter my cousin ellen to death and hope to have her out here soon enough. i thinking leaving her mother back east for a while will be good for her. i'd imagine that being an only child must suck. but then again i wouldn't know.
and through it all there was steve. god damn i love that boy. not only did he pick me up at the airport twice. but he hung out all day long and drove with us in my mother's mini-van to the grill for coffee. now i know my wife loves him and agrees that he should be the god father of our child but for me it's more. thinking about it i've known steve since he was around twelve. that's going on ten years. to know a person that long i feel greatful. and knowning the things that i know about steve i :
a. am surprised some girl hasn't pussy wiped him by now.
b. am surprised he hasn't written award winning books/movies/comics
i'm not surprised that i hate traveling. but iwas cool that where as samm's flight home was canceled mine was not and i was able to travel with my wife and daughter who slept like rip van winkle on the way home.
it's good to home. but fun to have been there.
