Warmer weather

It is a spectacularly beautiful day in the Town Square this morning. I am writing this post while sipping my triple-venti-no whipped-mocha seated outside of my favorite coffee shop.

D and I just returned home yesterday after spending three days in Camden ME kayaking and relaxing. We were celebrating our 22nd anniversary. It is hard to believe we have spent almost half of our lives together. I am an incredibly lucky man to be with D.

D and I wrote up a contract for J outlining our expectations regarding his behavior. Rather than booting him from the house completely, we implemented a three strikes policy wherein he will have to leave the house for a week if he strikes out or commits a serious offense such as stealing. We also gave him an 11:00 curfew on work nights that will hopefully curtail his partying.

B is attending his Junior Prom tonight. He is going with a female "friend" but he is thrilled about the event. It is interesting to watch him at track events as many of the girls are very flirtatious with him. He clearly loves the attention but has not expressed interest in a more serious relationship with any girls at this point.
