OK, as cynical as I can be, I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how much of today went.  We had extra snacks at work (mmm, queso), it was a nice seventy degrees and sunny when I drove home, and I had a wonderful dinner with my family, topped off by a pioneer woman dessert.

Added plus: My daughter wrote me a note and said I was the “nicest dad I had in the world.”  I would argue with her, but sometimes you just gotta give a big hug and say thank you.

And then cry all the way home because you know someday soon she won’t believe that anymore.
