Mornings with Alex

The dawn of a new day

Remember being a kid? Say sixteen years of age? Remember what you liked to do? Say at 5:00am? Did you enjoy getting out of bed so you could go work out with your dad before school starts? What started last year as a combo "Morning Tennis Practice" and "How can I avoid the big yellow school taxi" has continued into a "we'll get some exercise, occasional tennis or weight room time then you'll go your way and I'll go mine" time. And as the parent of that sixteen year old, all I can say is... it is good. And when we leave the Mount around seven, we share the spectacular view of dawn. And it too is good.
