fight to get it back again

energy -- it seems as if it is boundless in my two little boys.  there is no slow speed for them.  it is either 0 (sleeping) or 100mph (hair on fire).  i get tired just trying to keep up...but again, i am not getting any younger.  i guess i could fight to try to relive my past or youth or whatever - but i really now just want to be able to show my joy for life and happiness every day (i just wish it were easier). 

i truly hate the nights when my the boys have gone to sleep and i sit in my empty house, frightened by all of the creaks and groans which accompany the cooling of the midnight hour.  in the dead of winter, it really gets creepy when the cold winds blow and the house shakes with the chills from outside...that is when i really miss my friends, or at least my best friend.  i keep looking but, you know, it is hard for a single dad to put himself out there -- he has to be the hero every day...even though he has insecurities enough for ten(tin) men.

i am not going to look anymore -- if you want to know more, you know where to find me...
