One year ago today was Lindsey and my last day before we could see Harvey. I would say hold, but we couldn’t hold him right away while he was in the NICU. (Although, I think Lindsey insisted on holding him for a brief while on the first day.) And we could touch him gently while he rested in an incubator, connected to all sorts of tubes. I remember being there like it was yesterday, and it was the longest and scariest yesterday of my life. I was in some sort of shock for days until we met with one of the many people new parents meet with, and I was able to verbalize how scary Harvey’s birth was. And we faced each of those seven days in the hospital with hopeful outlooks, and generally received good news each day. The air in his chest cavity was working its way out, his lungs were doing fine, and he was improving. Lindsey was dedicated to beginning to breast feed with the pump, and I washed many little bottles (and continue to do so!). We did what we could to be parents, while Harvey spent his time in the NICU.

Masters 2014
Harvey’s first Masters Sunday is today. We are excited to watch it with him, and it should be a good one.
I can’t help but think back to this time last year. We were watching the Masters at the Jonkhoff Clubhouse and Lindsey was overdue with Harvey. We checked into the maternity unit at Munson as the playoff was starting. I was sneaking glimpses of the coverage while trying to be a reasonably good husband and future father. I can only imagine what Lindsey was thinking. (Probably, ‘Show me the iPhone coverage!’) Eventually, we settled in for what turned out to be a week-long stay and Harvey was born the next day.
With Harvey’s birthday, the Masters, and the onset of spring, April is one of my 12 favorite months!

Hey, Let’s All Sing Along!
How exciting it must be to be a band and hear your fans sing along or cause them to dance. Whether it’s just one, a small crowd in a bar, or a mass in a packed stadium, to know that one or many have been touched by your music has to be an amazing feeling. Case in point:
