Spent most of the day outside for the first time in over a year and a half. Brother was in town with his wife and daughter for a girls softball tourney.
Been so long I'd forgotten the sun can torch you. I'm a true "red neck" with arms and legs to match.
Had lunch at In-N-Out... no masks in a packed restaurant. Was struck by this beautiful baby laughing hysterically as his mother tickled his feet. The smile and the sound was what this world has needed. I walked up to the grandmother before I left (mom and baby were in the bathroom doing a presumed change)...Told her I knew it was creepy for me to say it, but the baby was beautiful and I wished it would've been okay to film that baby laughing like that. Would've been a viral video. So struck by how that's been missing. To see that smile on the face of that child and to hear that laughter? Wow. A sledgehammer to the soul in a good way.
