He spent the time to write it but never even mentioned it. I took it as a message written just for me.

Everything I heard and saw in the morning encouraged me. But my memory is so short.

I would have liked to blame my shortness of breath on the altitude, but it was the nerves all the way.

At times, I wished I had left the camera behind. Afterward, I was glad I had taken it.

07.23

I've been there, buddy. Just wanting to lie down in the sand and throw a fit.

07.22

I thought there would be fewer people. But apparently there are a lot of crazy morning people on vacation.

When I am old, I want a swimsuit just like this one. And a hat like her embroidered white one. I think only toddlers and old women can pull off the look.

I think they would have done just as well without the bribery. But they'll always take anything you're giving.

07.05

They have put me to shame several years in a row now. I'm begging for bed and they're still ready to go.

07.04

How can I get angry at those faces?! Yet, I always manage it. I wish...

We talked about the wallpaper and how perfect it was with the white. The whole place just felt bright and cozy and perfect.

I tried not to glare at those clad in Cardinal gear. Had I heard the All-Star news earlier in the day, I know I wouldn't have succeeded in holding back those glares, no matter how hard I might have tried.
