Okay. Let me NOT be defensive \:\) .

Have the kids tonight. They are trying to make a house out of playing cards.

I walked up and said "let me show you a different way to do it - the way I learned when I was your age".

They were THRILLED. An hour of them trying to do what I did.

How did you learn, they asked over and over?

Be patient, said I.

Hey dad, LOOK! Look what I did!

I shared how I learned from my uncle how to do this. I shared family history.

They were hanging on my every word. My daughter kissed me.

Hey dad, we are getting GOOD at this!! Come look!!!

Of course I could have been at some outside activity, watching from the bleachers.

No thanks.

BUT - the building cards does not replace the outside activities.

Balance.

Should I let former W define that?
