Organized to make this a 13-year after-school habit.

In 2003 i began hugging our son (now 16) every day after daycare, then after elementary school, then middle school, and now, high school.

It hit me yesterday as we did what we do every day before he gets in the car.

i’ve never seen another parent get out of their vehicle, do a hug and kiss (and quiet “I love you”), and then drive off.

Parent of the Year?

ha.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
