Sunday, June 26 — I wake up early and roll over. The sun is coming up. Rebecca is still asleep and Graham too, who had crawled into bed in the middle of the night. I look at my hands, touch my face, feel my legs. This could have been a very different morning.
It is the night before, and 10 minutes earlier we had left the kids with the sitter to go out to dinner in West Chester. There is a fast way to get there, and a nice way to get there. We chose the nice way — a meandering trip along Rt. 100, following the Brandywine River. We were in no hurry, and it had been a while since just the two of us had gotten out.

My son Graham turns four next month and if there is one thing I can say for sure about him, he is crazy about trains. In particular, Thomas the Train. Crazy, maybe, to the point of obsession.
He watches Thomas every morning on Sprout. He goes to bed every night watching Thomas on YouTube. We own a dozen or so Thomas DVDs, each of which he’s watched probably twenty times. We’ve gone for a ride on the “real” Thomas in Strasburg and driven to Six Flags in Bowie, Maryland to visit Thomas Town and we’ve gone to Thomas the Musical. His Thomas train set has taken over the entire playroom and includes all his favorite engines – Thomas, Percy, Emily, Diesel 10, Hiro, Molly, Rusty, Salty, Spencer, Victor and I’m probably forgetting a few. He has Thomas books, Thomas iPad apps, Thomas sippy cups, Thomas placemats, Thomas pajamas and Thomas underwear.
It is almost an act of murder. In order to grow you often have to kill off the very things that have made you successful, in the first place.
At first I tried to understand and follow the marketplace. This was reasonably successful. But I was not after being reasonable. Besides, who was willing to pay for a cheaper imitation of the latest trend?
