Dear Joseph and Lucia,

Part of being a grown up is taking care of things around the house. Today our hot water heater decided to start dumping water into the garage.  Not a good thing! I have the plumbers on order and made sure all the water is flowing out of the garage and not into anything important.

I had lunch with a friend of mine yesterday. We talked about a spiritual trek made from France to the coast in Spain. It takes about a month. I’m tempted to join him on it in a few years. It would do my soul good to partake in some nature and exercise.  I’m not sure we could deal with each other’s company for that long.

I’m still looking for a job. I hope things will turn positive this week. The recent plumbing issue has changed my agenda for today, but hey, we do what we can with what we have. It never means I stop waiting to hear from you two. I never will. I go to sleep every night with you on my mind.

Love,
Dad
