Zak

The future isn't just a place you'll go, it's a place you will invent.

Today Zak is five. He is in that space where he still makes meaning of the world on his own, but where the world is starting to tell him what is and what isn't. I hope he keeps making the world what he wants it to be. At least most of the time. 

And I hope there are tacos and puppies and fall leaves and laughter in his world. 

Because I like those things.

(pause)

And if there are Palmetto bugs in his world (something I don't like) I won't blame him.

But I will expect him to do something about it.

Happy birthday, Zak
