Kids

I have great kids. They are not kids anymore they are adults but to me they will always be 'my kids'. Like all parents who love their kids I know mine are the best.

My 25 year old son is an officer in the Navy. D, my son,  is good at his job. In fact he is one of the few who has found his place and he thrives in this environment, in his universe that is always changing, more to learn, new deadlines to meet going mock two with his hair on fire, officer and manager/coordinator. I think he learned that from the wife.

Kiddo, my name for him since he was a handful of diapers and colic, is a fan of the outdoors. You know surfing, camping and sports of all kinds. He also kicks butt in the kitchen, not like Steven Segal for those of you who know my reference,. He is a real A+ type person. I wonder where he gets it from, must be the wife.

I also have a fine daughter who has excelled in management at Mickey D's. Her ability is that her heart is for the people she works with which makes them and her strong alike. Both she and her staff enjoy the fruits of their labors.  Although she is not exactly like her brother they share deep resolve and desire to succeed with those they are in a team with, she in her own perfect way.  I think she got that from the wife too. Unlike her bro she is not so outdoorsy.

I love both my kids to pieces, their sense of humor is deep and rich; their joy for life is infectious to all those around them and they are both darn good looking...I guess they get that from me.

Thats why I don't just want to hang with them I want to have fun and challange them as they challenge me.  Usually we get together for vacation and cook, watch movies, go the the beach and the like. As you know, if you have been reading, we are cycling up the coast of California as our vacation together. What a great time we will have and the memories we will make as a family and friends. It should be a great ride!

Tell Arnold if I pass him on the road to stop at Peets, because he's buying...or not.
