“Yeah, that’s pretty funny when you think about it. So yammering away on a keyboard, at least I’m doing the citizen thing and engaging. Better than nothing.”

I have three boys. I owe it to them not to have my head where the sun doesn’t shine, including being a partisan fool, when they start to come of age. Spending time in the “Pub” with Allan and now the rest of you has always inspired me to learn.

That makes it sound like I didn’t care until I had kids, which is not true at all. It is just more urgent now.
