It was fourteen years ago yesterday that Zam came into the world; two weeks late, crabby from being covered in a head-to-toe rash, and with the biggest gopher cheeks in the history of babydom.
Zam has never been the oblique one. When he was three years old, we were teaching him about prayer. Late one clear summer night, as we were walking into the house from the car, he stopped in the middle of the lawn. “GOD! HEY, GOD!” he yelled.
He’s still kind of that way.
Happy birthday (a day late in blog terms) Zam!

I find myself shouting that very thing on occasion. I believe it is being noted.
