Most of who and what you are is reason to celebrate others, not blow your own horn. #humility #service

Sometimes hard to believe it was 4 years today that things changed direction for my career and family.
Having all the girls here makes things a little wild (and loud) but fun.
Fun to win 2nd in a row, especially when he played well and his brother was there to watch.
Fun to have seen the last 5 innings of what may be the greatest World Series game ever.
Feels great to have the new bathroom exhaust fan work on the first try! Not having a fan in the main morning bathroom was really disruptive.
Of course I’m productive there: it’s not populated with depressed, dispirited, zombies constantly in fear of what they say and do. And I have some access to natural light.
Weird how close to tears I was the entire time I was talking to my mom.
Really touching to see the baby crying “I love you, John” as the oldest left tonight.
Great to have a good visit from the oldest: grilled meat, games with the siblings, and LOTS of laughter!
Getting a lot done sometime takes it out of you and bedtime comes early.
One win feels like the Super Bowl when you haven’t won all year.
Glad he’s is doing well at school, but hard not to be jealous that he couldn’t do it while living at home.
Parents get too much credit for children’s success (and too much blame for problems), but still nice to hear coach’s praise about how hard he works and how much he brings to the team.
Abandoning the old ways doesn’t mean they didn’t work, but that they won’t continue to work.
When the talk goes long enough, you can get into some deeper issues. #healing
Remain composed no matter how much they push; you’re still the adult.
Am I being the man I want my boys to be?
Sometimes the weekend schedule and entitlement attitudes require a full-court press of chores…even on a Sunday.
Having the team audio available on the internet makes watching Nascar even more awesome! (Too bad it was the last race on free tv this season).
