Obama Cinches Democratic Nomination, Tristan Finds out First
written 4 Jun 2008 in the earliest morning
A Wired News feed in my Gmail tells me that Obama has finally become the Democratic Presidential Candidate, and as I click on the link to read the details I mention it to my son, Tristan, who I’ve been explaining the election process and my affinity towards Obama vs. Hillary or that old guy, etc.
“I know,” he replies.
“No, I just found out right now. It only happened today.” I assume he’s just mistaken or misunderstood something Olivia and I were discussing the other day.
“I know, I saw it this morning on TV.”
My son is officially now more well-informed than I.

Tristan Daviding, a Coming of Age
This site used to readily feature the wisdom of my young son, Tristan David. In his early youth, and we’re talking light-socket curious young through pre-school, he would oft have epiphanies, realizations that though his brain could process, would often come out in the cute kids-say-the-darndest things sort of way that only a bobble-headed youth’s language could muster.

Through the Eyes of Tristan David
Tristan recently had his eyes checked and received perfect marks from the doctor. However, these latest photos which he shot personally with the kids digital camera he got for Christmas show that he might just have some type of uber-vision, only foreseeable by children in the near future.
None of these pics were Photoshopped in any way, other than to resize them to fit in this post.

Are these the legs of his hero?

Tristan on a Playdate
Tristan has a friend over today, his name is Nico and they’re in kindergarten together. Awfully nice kid, that Nico. Tristan’s showing him his stuff and Nico’s pretty much just saying “Yeah I have that, too.” regardless of what it is.

Tristan on Guitar
The boy has been learning to play guitar as of late. He currently knows how to play the infamous D7 and, of course, G chords.
He seemed so proud of himself today as he showed me how to play them, so I told him to keep playing and someday he’ll be better than I am, to which he replied.
