Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2003. Mattie was a year and a half old and this was his first experience at a fall festival. This festival had a petting zoo, and as you can see, Mattie got an up close and personal interaction with this sheep. To me this will always be a very precious and inquisitive photo, as both Mattie and the sheep looked like they were studying each other.

After getting my dad up, showered, dressed, and had breakfast, I then got my dad settled in his chair and then drove to the hospital for a blood test. Typically parking is a challenge and I was preparing for a morning of stress. It turns out that parking was simple, the phlebotomist was fantastic, and I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Even the commute back and forth to the hospital was easy. I figured this was a good sign for the rest of my day.
Unfortunately my day truly unraveled out of control so much so that by this evening, I just couldn't sit still. Fortunately it was a lovely weather day, so I did lap after lap in the backyard. Of course I wasn't alone, my buddy, Sunny, was sitting down, watching and always in his own way lent support.
