Day 130 of Living Gratefully

This is my nephew, Ben. He has, like, a bazillion uncles, but recently he decided I'm his favorite, and this weekend he flew by himself from Boston to Baltimore to spend some time with me. He's 14.

 

My wife Amy spent the weekend with Ben's mother, her younger sister, so it was just Ben and me and, boy, am I exhausted. I've forgotten what it's like to have a kid in the house.

 

Did I mention that I'm exhausted?

 

Anyway, this is Ben shortly after he arrived in Baltimore on Friday. (I had a lot more energy then.) He's shuffling up a deck of Magic: The Gathering cards for the first of a bazillion games he and I would play before he boarded his plane back to Boston this afternoon.

 

I'm grateful for my nephew Ben, and for being his favorite unzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
