What's this?

I look back now on how I emphasized sports and competing, and


wonder if I should have done things differently. I range from thinking "I was a freaking lunatic - It's a miracle my kids don't hate me" to "I'm so glad I toughened them up. They will need it someday".

The most important things are you are there, and you care. At least I hope so, ha. The Dad business ain't easy.
