Confirmation: Big night in our household

April is a blur of activity in our track world. But on Friday afternoon/evening we stepped off the speeding train for a very special night as our oldest son Joey was confirmed in the Catholic church. It’s a big deal in our world. You’ll notice several things in the photo above, which my wife Heidi posted on Facebook:

--The women of the house are truly beautiful, aren’t they? Certainly in the eye of this beholder …

--The star of the night grows about a half-inch seemingly every day. He is creeping up on his old man, as you can see.

--Our youngest son, James, is caught in a rare moment of non-activity. Trust me, he was poised for motion as soon as the photo was taken.

--Lastly, the old guy on the right … you may not notice him without the customary running cap. Or, as my old pal Charlie Sprauer commented on Facebook about me: “Is that old man with the white hair the grandfather?” Nicely done.
