Congratulations @BillCosby for winning the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor
The 12th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor
Bill Cosby
2009 Prize Recipient
Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed, and appreciated Bill Cosby’s humor. There is nothing I’ve ever seen that can make me laugh like ‘Bill Cosby – Himself’; so much that I usually only watch it 1/2 at a time due to severe, laughter induced, stomach pains.
Mr. Cosby, thank you sir. You are one in a million.

Daddy, what are those on your arm? (Bodhisattva Vows)
Daddy, what are those, originally uploaded by mindonly.
son: “Daddy, what are those spots on your arm?” (pointing to my incense markings)
me: “Those are my incense markings, I got them at temple”
son: “Why?”
me: “Well, those are a reminder for a commitment I made for the rest of my life. ….And you know, you’re kind of part of that commitment”
son: “I should have those too!”
me: “well, that’s up to you. Someday, maybe you will. Maybe you will…”
================
for anyone unfamiliar, it is a (voluntary) part of taking Bodhisattva Vows. Most commonly done within a Chinese Buddhist order.

celebrating the life of a friend
she was one of those people who had a smile you’ll never forget….
it was wonderful to see old friends from the high school/Disneyland days, but do wish the circumstances were different for this little reunion.
Morgan was well loved, and will be missed dearly.

Ice cream logic
had to share this one… sometimes the little man says the funniest things.
Setting: Ian and I are driving to Souplantation for dinner and it’s rather warm in the car. I start to roll down his window.
Me: “Let the air come in the window, it will cool you off”
Ian: <rolls window back up> “that’s ok Daddy, we’ll get ice cream at Souplantation and that will make me cold on the inside”
I love child logic.
Present moment
Almost every night of his life, my son and I read a story together. As I read tonight laying next to him, I glanced over and saw that he was asleep. It had been a while since that had happened, less and less frequent the older he gets. So I continued to read to the end of the page, ensuring he was sound asleep.
Then I just watched him sleep. There really is nothing quite like watching your child sleep. Such an amazing example of being in the present moment. Knowing they fell alseep without a worry or care, in absolute security and comfort.
