Jake came to the game with Renee and me. He had a lot of fun, talked to a lot of my partners and colleagues. I'm so proud of him!

After reading that article on bioluminescence, I figured I had to have some photos of the boys with lightning bugs (fireflies?). So, I searched the photos app on my phone for "lightning bugs" and it dutifully returned a series of five photos from over a decade ago. Pretty amazing.

This one shows Jake with fascinated by a ligtning bug resting on his hand (hard to see as it's not illuminated).

Renee and I had some quality time with Jake tonight, which was wonderful. He flew earlier in the day, working on some instrument flying. So proud of him!

I could not be more proud of Jake. He's kind, compassionate, smart, thoughtful, generous, and considerate. And, at 18, he's got big dreams...and the skills and plans to make them happen. Keep moving it forward, Jake.

Looking through the roof of my car as Jake takes off. Never gets old.
