unconditional love...
is that what happens to most dads                    that fall in love with their family??
we are settling into life at the retirement        community of fairfield bay...
our view isn't as good as last year
but it's still there if stand up and look over the roof...
no comparison to our view of the sea...
but we can see the bay..
and we are so close to the pool, where        i can religiously practice my stroke
and perhaps stave off the extra weight                       of being lazy??
while i relax  in my new parking spot
and spend time with my son
treating these moments with him as the Gold in my life...
his blonde hair bouncing up and down  
as he frolics in his new surroundings
living vicariously in his new life
as he becomes smarter

Peter Pan Syndrome

I have a little time to chat with you today. I hope to do a cut and paste about the above topic that many people throughout the world display symptoms of. They are reluctant to take on the responsibilities of adulthood and I remember reading an essay about the Gilligan Syndrome which is the modern day version. I have been impressed with Johnny Depp's version of James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, a play about a boy that never grows up. The movie, Finding Neverland, captures the author's feelings about a child who lost his youth dealing with the death of his father. He made the play with a way to reach the childhood fantasy of this sad young boy.

I think about Johnny Depp's impression of James Barrie as a funny man enjoying the company of children more than adults. Julie Christie does a good version of the the grandmother of these children. I feel that I can empathize with his feelings by enjoying hanging out with young folks often more than adults that have squelched the…
