A Long Walk
January 25th, 2008 • Posted in News |
I took my 4 year old son Dan for a walk around the village yesterday evening, after spending a day in front of the keyboard. I needed some air, and it’s not often just the two of us get out together.
It was about 6:30, the sun was down and the stars were out. He noticed them. “Look at all the stars Daddy!”
“Do you know how many stars there are?” I asked him.
“How many?”
“A thousand million million million.”
“Wow,” he said, suitably awed. “I’ll count them all! One … two … three …”
