Being a full-fledged member of the rat race is both good and bad since it keeps you intellectually challenged and solvent but at the same time limits your freedom to explore the world on your own terms. For those of you out there that have the perfect job or are independently wealthy, my hat is off to you. Despite the claim that work has on our lives, there are higher priorities. Wendy, my wife of ten years, and I have been blessed with two fabulous children. At this point I can't imagine life without parent-teacher conferences, coaching youth soccer or Pokemon cards.
Life revolves around our family and making sure our kids develop into the best they can be.
Now that I have my own children, I can fully appreciate the effort of parents everywhere to keep their kids on the right track. I look forward to catching up with anyone who would like to write.
