the13thfloor

This one is for me. Listening to OPM, Menace to Sobriety! One of the best records (hope I'm not dating myself) of all times. At least in the top 5 I'm toasted and loose. I'm having a good day with my oldest graduating from high-school this week. I searched Google to see where my pueney (sic) litle blog would show up on the list. I showed up on page two. Man I'm making progress in the world. the13thfloor I actually feel like I might start publicizing my little spot on the internet. I am just gong to ramble on for a while if you don.t mind. I know you don't mind because nobody is out there. I know this to be true. But I really don't care. It's alright. These words will always be there for me and mine. That is the beauty of the blogosphere. You are allowed to speak even if no one is listening. Kind of like the United States...You have a right to speak, not a right to be heard. Anyhow, 18 years have passed and my wife and I have raised our first child. It is incredible how quickly the time really does pass. Pictures in my head of him sleeping on my chest as an infant. The early trips to the the Bronco games. The karate tournaments, the football games. The trips across town for school, ortho appointments, bithday parties. I just slips by. By law he is now responsible for himself. I ask myself, have we given him an oportunity to gain the knowledge and wisdom necessary for success in the life he has ahead? Have we given him an opportunity to learn to be a good person? Has he learned the discipline and drive necessary to succeed in his endeavors? Does he have the social skills necessary to coexist with others? Does the know the difference between right and wrong? We he be fruitful and multiply? Only time will truely tell, but I am confident, that my son will make his mother and me look very good and parents.
