I try, for the most part, to keep this blog focused on the book and related topics – Shakespeare, publishing, whatnot. But once in awhile I have to return my focus to the ongoing joy of being Dash’s dad. He’s gonna be seventeen months this week (when do you stop counting months – is it after two years, or three?), and it’s amazing how much I enjoy the person he is, and the one he’s becoming.

Dash loves the beach.

A lot.

He’s down there every day.

And don’t worry, he’s slathered with sunscreen.

But he seems to have "lost" his hat again…

I confess my bias, but…

Man, I gotta say it – this kid is just too cool.
