I’m sitting in a hotel room in Bristol, CT tonight as I prepare for another day at work tomorrow and I get this photo from home.  Cooper, the boy who can’t walk nor even stand unassisted, has decided that he can climb on top of a fire truck and play with the train set…unassisted.  As I read notes about the US Postal Service halting Saturday delivery to save money, I wonder how long news like this would’ve taken to be delivered to me a hundred years ago.

In my lifetime, I can recall having to do things like “develop film” and “mail pictures in padded envelopes.”  The world is moving very fast but then again, I’m not sure if it’s digital imagery that tells me this or the fact that just yesterday I was watching this little monkey enter this world.

All I can say is, technology and pictures like this make being away from home just a little bit easier.
