Clapper,

<What a bunch of materialistic little monsters they/we have created>

funny you should mention that....I was at a informal reunion with a bunch of guys I used to be in the technology and consulting business with - these are really good guys....we all had the good fortune to do very well in our careers...as it turns out, none of our kids have gone into that type of business...they are teachers,nurses,forestry, docs, physical therapists, trades...all the careers that "help" people out. We were all laughing saying they saw us working all kinds of hours, lots of hours travelling and figured out that that may not be the secret to life. What's really interesting is that we loved our work and were lucky to be part of creating an industry....what's really cool is that they love their work too...that probably was the most important thing to pass along to them.

Kids are great - my youngest is just back from college. I started out at 6:00 am on Saturday to pick her up at Clinton New York, got my starbucks and turned on the Messiah. The sun was rising as I was driving through the Berkshires...absolutely beautiful and one of those day where it is good to be alive.
