I'm guilty of the "lazy me too" syndrome a lot of the time, too.  As long as the first reply duty rotates -- and as far as I can tell, it does -- then it's all good.

Lovely essay, Mariss. Thank you for sharing your composition with us. And to think I nearly missed this thread!
Art, beauty, blessings...these are all around us. We must but perceive the world in the best way.

I see in your picture what I surmise to be your son. Many blessings to you. They grow so fast. Please love them and teach them what they will need to know. You are so honored to be able to do that. You will never be able to re-live your own childhood except thru what you teach your little ones.

You can tell a lot about a man by how he's raised his kids. Tom's a good daddy.

Peter, you are too kind. I could never imagine a greater compliment.
I firmly believe that one of the main reasons why God put me here is to be Emily and Alex's Daddy. Still, some days you simply do not connect, and the nobility and purpose of parenthood is subjugated to the human frailties of emotion and necessity.
I'm just doing my best to care for all the people in my life. And make them listen to good music. And drink better beer.

I'd be remiss without saying that mwc (and his sons) demontstated to me that he's also a great dad. An Axiom coincidence???
As a new father, it's great to have people to look up to -- not in the "role model" sort of way, but in the inspiration sort of way. Could good music and good beer really be the key to raising happy kids?

What no praise for me and what a GREAT dad I am? I'm deeply offended!

I was going to say "two out of the three axiomites i visited are great dads. The third might have been, but evidence of children was lacking."
