Doug included a link to his summer vacation in a post that was hidden away
in a reply to one of my lake-paddling threads. It really deserves a thread
all to itself if only for those of us who have known Doug for a long time
and watched his two daughters grow up. It's easy for guys like me to forget
that we're getting older because, other than the pain, there's nothing to
track it. But when you have children everything they do reminds you - yet
again - that you, too, are getting older. School supplies for the new grade,
clothes that have been outgrown, cell phone bills, requests to borrow the
car ("but you're only nine!!!"), etc. So when I finally clicked over to look
at Doug's summer vacation and saw the photos of his two daughters I was
reminded that I'm getting older (thanks, Doug) and I thought I'd make sure
that the rest of you got the hint, too.

Besides, it makes a swell counterpoint to the usual Doug Lloyd adventures.
Sometimes it's nice to know that legends are human, too. :)
