floating around Facebook got me thinking.
My single greatest fear as a parent is --not sharing enough information with my daughter.
Could be current events, the grand metaphors of Life & the Living of it, who Woody Allen is, what a Half-Step is, what a Mono-Chrome computer monitor looked like, what Bee's Knees means, how to make a Stink Bomb, or executing a perfect Around The World with a yo-yo, or Watergate.
The list is huge, expansive, growing and changing.
The most involved aspect of parenting for each new parental generation is walking that delicate tightrope of:
Staying in the Now, looking toward the Future, while honoring all the years Past.
It's endless, and it keeps me awake most nights...

I've said to anyone who will listen, and more often to myself, that if I ever have a regret in my life it will be that I didn't have more time to spend with my kids. Not that I didn't have a Escalade, McMansion, or Flat panel TV (we still rock CRT's), but that I didn't have even another hour to spend with my kids. When I'm with them the world is Right.
I printed the above out, and put it under the glass on my desk at work. Words to live by.
