Episode III

Circles

Today I bought my very first propane grill. We're going to try it tomorrow, provided that I can learn how to hook up a propane tank. Why not? I put the grill together didn't I?

We went to the zoo today and I observed something that I thought was profound. As we were taxi-cabbing our children around in their strollers looking at the near-cousin gorillas (which I don't remember the last time I even THOUGHT about throwing my feces), we passed a group of people going the opposite way.

There were two elderly people and two younger people. The elderly were in wheelchairs being pushed by (probably their children) the younger adults. As I passed by going the other direction pushing my children in their strollers, I was reminded that one day we will come full circle and my children will be pushing me.

The family was the first institution that God ever created and it is definitely the most important. I was thankful that I was at the zoo with my kids and not in some meeting. Getting ice cream instead of taking clients out to dinner. That's what heroes do, they are there when it's important.

  1. Wish I had known that you were buying a grill. Dad is trying to sell his. What did you get?
