Last night I had some light cold symptoms such as a scratchy throat and cough so I took some Nyquil and slept soundly. This morning I woke up feeling rested and refreshed. However, I felt some reluctance to start my day but quickly realized that I had no excuse to do so. I was not depressed, did not feel physically ill and was well rested. Any desire to remain in bed would likely be due to laziness; nothing more. I swung my legs onto the floor and shuffled into B's room to wake him up.
Upon entering his room I noticed his guitar sitting on a chair, not in its case. The previous night I had asked him to put the instrument away as he had left it in the living room. Seeing it now, lying there as if casually discarded among the dirty clothes and game center electronics, caused me to pause for a moment cosidering my choice of responses. I hated to start his day with a dose of criticism but I also want him to learn responsibility. I reached out to him gently shaking his shoulder saying "B, B... It is time to get up." He uncoiled his lanky body stretching it out the full length of the mattress while loudly yawning. As he stood up in front of me for our morning hug I realized that he was contiuing to grow past my 6' 2" frame. I held him close to me and we exchanged muted "good mornings". I wondered to myself "how many parents enjoy this type of bond with their 15 year old child"? The discussion about the guitar would wait for another time.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.
