This is an old post from a road trip we took in 2009. I spotted these young men when we were vacationing on the west coast.

They had a nice aura and I liked the look of them, hence the photo and the quotes.

Like many parents here and around the world, we planted those seeds early, and are very grateful they didn't hit stony ground.
