Sarah at Fenway

A year ago, Sarah was just released from Neurological Intensive Care after hitting her head and getting a severe brain injury. What a difference a year makes.

Here’s Sarah at Fenway Park last week. Today’s her birthday. Happy birthday, Sarah.

Happy Birthday, Steve

Stephen Espen Mottet “Schloopy John XXIII” Roche is 15 years old today.

When we were talking the other day I said, “Wow, 15 years old.” He looked at me with amusement and said, “It’s a nothing birthday, Dad. I won’t be able to drive for another year.”

Ah, to be in those interstitial years between being a kid and growing up. (I’m caught in those interstitial years between adulthood and retirement. It just goes on and on.)

Happy birthday, Steve.
