Wilson

Natty got a volleyball for her birthday.  She told me how much she likes volleyball so I thought it would be a good gift.  She was quite excited about it.  I shared with her the story of how I would spend hours practicing setting as I listened to the Phantom of the Opera.  We've discussed a few things and I have taught her some things about hitting the ball.  She is practicing already and enjoying it.  That is fun for me as I love the sport. 

Somehow we got on the topic of Wilson and that lead us in to Cast Away and Chuck Nolans best friend on the island.  The kids had never seen the movie so we decided we had to watch it.  What a flick.  It was a sad moment for all when we watched the best supporting actor in the film float away.  Natty did note that at the end of the movie after Chuck lost Kelly for the second time and went to deliver the package, as they scanned across the Jeep there was a new volleyball in the passenger seat.  I had never noticed it before but there it is and Wilson lives on.
