A little homage to hugely deserved papa love started the week.

There was the thrilling victory playoff game that Sammy pitched five out of six innings, and may have had at least one homer…

followed by a meeting with the jeweler to design one of these:

Wake up the next day, and go to the championship game, and win decisively. Sam’s team grew exponentially as a TEAM. Everyone contributing something critical to the cumulative VICTORY.

During all this, someone else suddenly finished first grade and became a member of a PACK.

Followed by my successful delivery of this breakout session to a gathering of early childhood educators in Augusta the next morning.

And when all is said and done, I close my eyes and see this magical place.
