Hancock Standard Time...It's a truth in my life that is undeniable and unchangeable, and I've stopped fighting it. It's taken 6 years to develop and I am sure will continue to evolve (or unravel...) over the coming years. In short, it means that whatever I do, or wherever I arrive, I really meant to do/be there minutes, days, weeks, months and now, even years, ago. Time is slippery and I lose it often. For example, this blog, I've been meaning to start this since Kenner was born - 22 1/2 months ago, to allow us to keep in touch in an easier way. During that time, I've not been in touch at all with many of my life's influences - I apologize, but have a hunch that you suffer from your own time challenges...I can't possibly be the only one...Another example, Kenner's baby book - not a single word has been written. I have decided that I really am the only person on earth who has committed the crime of not documenting on paper every little first...Instead I try to justify this large imperfection by repeating in my head the key firsts so someday, when I have time (and can magically not write like a boy) I can lovingly script his firsts (better put them here while I am thinking of them - first smile 6/23 at his Granddad in Mexico, first day of preschool 7/17, sat up on his own in Nov 06, first teeth discovered Sat 12/9 while making Christmas Tamales at Michelle's house, began "combat crawling" on 2/1, first steps 4/29...and first haircut 2/18/08). I hope I can remember a few more before I crack the book...
Anyway, I look forward to sharing with you more of us and our news and developments through this blog.
I'll try to update every week or 2 with glimpses from our busy days!
With love,
Jamie
