Your Vagabond Dad

Oh, how I miss you. This week, your dad (me) has been in New York without you. I hate traveling without you kid. I’ve been missing you like crazy ever since I left. Right now, I’m in Boston. I stopped in New York on my way to Boston because my flight landed there and it happens to be my favorite place in the world. I had a lot of fun in NY…I got to see one of my favorite bands, Interpol, got to see a few comedians, got to see the museum of Natural History, and drink at my favorite bar (Broome St.). But, all along I was thinking about you and wishing I could be around you. In fact, some of the most fun I had in NY was when I was shopping for you. And boy did I get you some cute stuff. The best thing I got you was a CBGB’s shirt! By the time you read this, they will probably be closed down, but CBGB’s was the quintessential punk rock venue in the world. I tried to get you your first Hard Rock t-shirt, but they were too big (this is my 2nd failed attempt after trying to find baby sizes in Singapore as well). I also tried to get you an “I love NY” shirt as well, but again…I couldn’t find your size. Oh well. The CBGB’s shirt will have to do. And, I promise we’ll post pics as soon as I get back home.

So, now I’m in Boston. Your Aunt Julie lives here and when I arrived she told me she was pregnant w/ her first child. Actually, I think she’s pregnant with her first children (note: plural) as twins run in our family and her due date is May 31st – Gemini! So, now that this is posted, we’ll see if I’m right in a few months. How exciting is that…another cousin! You know, growing up I only had one cousin and you’re going to have at least 5 (David, Gabriel, Nicholas, and the new twins!) Of course the one time I’m in Boston for a few days, your Aunt left for a vacation in North Carolina (I think). Figures! But, I’m in process for applying to Babson to get my MBA. So, if I get in, I’ll be here once a month

But if I do start coming out here once a month, I’m going to have to figure out how to bring you and your mom along as well. Any ideas? Traveling is so much fun and it quenches my thirst to see and experience the world. But, right now, you are my world, so pack your bags…cuz until you’re 18, you’re stuck with me, your travelin’ dad..
