This past weekend we travelled the l-o-n-g 11 hours to Meade County, Kentucky to watch Alex be honored at the football Senior Night and to watch him play in his last home game of the regular season. We had a great time. The Meade County crowd was extremely friendly, as always, and Ella was a great big hit with everyone, especially Uncle Al's girlfriend Claire and her rather extensive family (Ella became immediate BFFs with Claire's little sister Jo-Jo). So a great time was had by all. Above is a picture of the parents getting ready to meet Alex on the field for Senior Night. Can any of you believe Alex is graduating high school? I sure can't.

Thanks to everyone for making the l-o-n-g 11 hour drive to backwater Kentucky. It is truly amazing to watch Alex’s life change so much since his Senior Night. Your being here meant a lot, and as time passes, it is going to mean even more to Alex. As we look back, we all must admit in our own individual ways, the true insanity and challenge of being a teenager.
It appears that Alex is moving forward and not hanging on the past as so many do that have gone this way before him. So many people I see remind me of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, and I can’t help but wonder where their lives went.
One thing about all of us, we all live in the present.
Thanks again for making the trip.
AML / Dad
