| Introduction | I just want to go on a walk with my honey...maybe have a sandwich. |
| Interests | Trying to treat each day as an opportunity...to be a better husband\dad\person...to have fun and learn something new...to be tolerant of others, appreciative of diversity, respectful of individual rights, and unafraid to act against those that aren't...to play as much as possible and work as necessary...to be balanced in life, keep things in perspective, and live in the moment...We keep this excerpt from Anna Quindlen on our fridge as a daily reminder: "But the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." |
