There was time on this airplane
Soaring over all the people without names
and they might see you and I
as the greatest lovers who once kissed the sky
please don't let this plane touch down
please just keep her safe and sound
There was time on this old airplane
Time enough to say the things that we want to say
like "I love you"
please don't take her away
I hope to see her when she gets back to New York
please don't let this plane touch down
please just keep her safe and sound

there you stand out side the ship
waiving your hands goodbye
we shall return before the spring
but please don’t keep standing by
believe in love and invest in truth
I promise to return to you
the soldiers creed is what I know
and I’ll honor and prove it to you
so don’t you worry Ill be fine
I’ll return before the bluebirds in the spring time
I’ll come home and love you so
promise me honey that you’ll never let me go
I mailed you a letter explaining it all
my intentions are best with you
and when I get back onto the shore
I plan on marrying you
We’ll start our family and build a house
and put the war behind us
we’ll call our first born baby, "Eleanor Jane"
just like ship we sailed on
so don’t you worry Ill be fine
I’ll return before the bluebirds in the spring time
I’ll come home and love you so
promise me honey that you’ll never let me go
I love you, darling
yes, I do
I love you, darling
yes, I do
I love you, darling
yes, I do
I love you, darling
yes, I do
so don’t you worry Ill be fine
I’ll return before the bluebirds in the spring time
I’ll come home and love you so
promise me honey that you’ll never let me go
there you stand out side the ship waiving your hands goodbye we shall return before the spring but please don’t keep standing by believe in love and invest in truth I promise to return to you the soldiers creed is what I know and I’ll honor and prove…
I generally use https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server to run my local web server. http-server works really great, however lately I've been finding myself using SimpleHTTPServer because it's already installed on my Mac and it's, well... simple (obviously, given the name).
Try it:
Open terminal.app and run
cd ~/Sites/some-project (or wherever your static project files exist)
and now fire it up:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 (or choose another port number)
then simply visit http://localhost:8000 :)
Happy coding!

You used to fall apart
limb by limb, tear for tear
until I found some glue
drop by drop, I stuck to you
And it's always getting better
everyday that I'm with you
no matter what the weather
I'll be there to pull you through
Some days will get to you
push and pull, kick and scream
just know it's a part of life
ups and downs, left and right
And it's always getting better
everyday that I'm with you
no matter what the weather
I'll be there to pull you through

Calder,
I know you're not at an age that you can actually read this message. It's also quite possible that this blog will not even exist by the time you do begin to read. Nevertheless, I wanted to let you know how much I love you. I want to document your growth and capture the magical moments that we experience together. One day, if this blog is still running, you may look back and find these posts useful, or quite possibly embarrassing. Sorry about that :(
As I take a look through the window of your future, I see so many possibilities for you. I've already started a trust fund for you, reserved several domain names, recorded several songs with you, in fact you even have your own gmail address and twitter account. For context, at the time of this message you are exactly 1 year, 7 months, and 16 days old. I know because I created a clock on your web site caldercan.com to help me remember. You are at an age in the world where it may be physically possible to out live giant tortoises, immortal jellyfish, and possibly ocean quahog. Stay away from smoking, eat right, and exercise. Remember health is wealth!
Additionally, you live in New York. One of the most opportunistic and thriving places on the planet. You need to remember how fortunate you are and make use of these fortunes. I know you will do great along your journey. You've already traveled so far!
Whatever path you take in life, I always want you to remember that you are heavily supported by your mother and I. We want the best for you in every step of the way and are confident you'll do your best in whatever it is you choose to become.
Oh and before I forget, you also have your own phone number with google voice. I've sent the phone number to your gmail account for your records. I'm not entirely certain that google voice will be around though in years to come. It's a great idea, in fact, I've been using it for years, however I believe the telecommunications industry will be shifting drastically by the time you need to use your number. Nevertheless, you will have a string of numbers of some kind that will be tied to you uniquely.
Calder, I hope you solve all of the problems you find in the world. You've already solved one of mine by just being born. You've completely changed my perspective on life. You've changed several family members lives already. I've witnessed your incredible impact on everyone you've encountered and I'm continually amazed on how wise you are.
Love,
Papa
