I can not begin to tell you how many times I've said that I wish I'd taken better care of myself when I was younger.

We announced my wife's pregnancy with the twins (#'s 4 & 5 of the lot) on my 40th birthday.

On the flip side, I honestly believe that my kids are keeping me young -- despite the fact that I tell them all the time that they are killing me.

Tomorrow, I start figuring out what that really means.....

Just don't think too hard -- takes the fun out of it. Happy Birthday!

I used to get the paper for the morning smoke. The walk to the curb wasn't quite as exciting when I quit so now I'm essentially clueless.

She needs a morning chore -- like fixing your coffee.

Seriously?? On Father's Day. Why didn't they just schedule a winter recital during the Super Bowl?

I am extremely fortunate in that I am well received (at least I think I am) with all of my wife's family -- she's one of ten. Even early on, there was never a breaking in period. I just seemed to fit.

Of course, I pretty much keep all opinions to myself and my mouth shut when it comes to any family matter. They'll turn on each other like a pack of wolves on a gimpy lamb.

This one looks like something my finicky kids would go for.

I suppose I'm pretty fortunate in that I can not recall a single wrong committed against me that would warrant any lasting anger or resentment. If it has occurred I suppose I'm just oblivious to it.

I have done my level best to let my anger towards other people (the slights and petty things) not show. Rarely would anyone know I was upset at them because I just don't show it. Maybe that's not such a good thing but I feel it's important that my kids know that you treat people with kindness and respect even if you don't like the way they treat you--like beat you in soccer!

Great interview. Nicely done, Jared.

It's kind of neat to read Jared's blog--I don't know him but we apparently live pretty close--I've been to the same spots in the zoo and been to COSI as well as some of the other places he blogs about visiting with Ace. That's kind of cool.

And what about the old saying, "If you're not an embarrassment to your children then you're not doing it right."

I'll echo some thoughts already stated about James being a great guy and a good friend. I can't say thanks enough for the opportunities he has provided me in my short tenure as a blogger. He's the kid of guy that pushes you to be a little bit better than you think you are (than you actually may be) yet remains supportive and encouraging. That's a rare talent. Thanks, James.

Jeremy--another great interview.

Thanks for sharing and glad to hear everyone is well.
