A broken Summer 2012

   Well this year was not the greatest of Summers, but it still was a good Summer. You broke your finger jumping off the bunk beds.  Your pinky smacked off of the dresser and well it fractured.   There is not much you can do to fix that type of break except for splint it and wait 6 weeks.   I know it kinda sucked not being able to go skating or riding your bike.  The only upside was it was soooo hot this year that you had spent most time inside watching tons of SCI-FI and Dr who on netflix.   
     As a kid and in high school I had broken my nose no less than three times.  I know I fractured my heel when I had my motorcycle accident.  I jammed and probably fractured a finger or two as a kid as well..... Guess what they all healed. So did you.  It took time .  Most things take time to heal... bones , cuts and hearts.  
   God willing this will be your only broken bone.   If it's not those will heal as well. Just remember.... take thinks slow and let them heal.   This Summer could have been worse. A friend of mine named Jeff broke his arm at the beginning of Summer one year and had to have a full cast for the entire time.....   
 
Take care
Love Dad.

to the sky


I bought a new telescope the other week.  Its a Celestron firstscope - a 3" reflector and it was quite cheep ,but not cheaply made. I had always wanted a reflector. Your mom bought me a refractor . while its a nice scope unto its self its cumbersome to use. The ease and portability keeps me using this one.
   I was happy to but it.  I wanted to show you two the skies. My uncle was happy to show me what he know about the sky and of the wonderful satellites we launched to other worlds.  Its neet having to learn something just so I can show you both.  The other night I showed you two and mom the Moon for the first time.  It was wonderful to show you the night for the first time. We also saw the red world of Mars and Saturn as a planet instead of just a spot on the sky.   We saw its rings!!!!  Slowly I am buying an eyepiece here and there. Ones that are better that the ones the firstscope came with. Next year I'll buy a bigger scope thats also easy to bring with..    I thought that Ryan would be all over the scope but its Matthew that likes to watch the night sky. 
    Little by little we'll both  learn more together.  I'm loving it.  I'll keep showing you as much as I know if you keep making me learn more about the world. I love seeing it through your eyes.
 
As always
With Love,
Dad
