Today has been good.

I started a new skating lesson job in Ann Arbor. For those of you who don't know, I teach hockey specific skating lessons. I already got called gay by an ex-teacher this weekend when I just said skating lessons. Whatever.

Anyways, I was reminded today why I love this job. Little kids are so fun to work with. (Fuck you if you're getting perverted thoughts) They're so young and optimistic. I love it. The highlight of the day was when I told the kids to work hard and that I didn't want to see any slackers. All of a sudden from the back I hear a high squeaky kid's voice say, "Coach Scott, what's a slacker?" It was so awesome. I love little kids.

Also, today was the party for my grandparents 50th anniversary. I saw my grandpa, with tears in his eyes, tell my little cousin that it's okay for old men to cry. It was one of the most emotional things that I have ever had to stomach. It just goes to show the power of love. I'm starting to realize how much family means to me. The two greatest memories I have in the past year have been today and when we had a surprise birthday party for my other grandpa last fall. I have never seen people as happy as those two events. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
