aiming high

Sage was busy with her crayons when her father asked her, "Sage, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

She didn't quite understand, having never heard the question before, so he elucidated: "When you're grown up, what would you like to do? You can become a writer like Mommy, or you can own a store like Uncle Vinnie, or you can help sick people like your doctor does."

"Or you can be many things at the same time," I chimed in. "You can be a writer-businessman like Daddy, or an actor-businessman like Uncle Richard."

Sage paused and frowned, giving the matter due consideration. Then she decided, "I'm going to be a princess-doctor," and promptly went back to her drawing.

little light

Dean says I've been singing this song day in, day out recently. It's because I actually listened to the lyrics, and I realized it could have been written about our finally having Sagey after many years of worrying about whether the time was right to have a child:
Nobody told me you'd feel so good.
Nobody said you would be so beautiful.
Nobody warned me about your smile.
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes...

--Color Blind, Darius Danesh
If I'd known we were going to get Sage, I'd never have had to worry. She is the light of all our days, and everything I never knew I always wanted.

sage, age 3


At the tail end of my photoshoots, I had Sage come over so we could take her pictures. Isn't she lovely? I am father to a beautiful daughter and husband to a beautiful wife!
