dad’s job

I was rather disturbed by a brief chat with another patron @ the gym today; he was lamenting his lack of fitness coming in to 2010 “due to” his kids.

I said as much in the moment but am keen to get this off my chest through the keyboard, too:

Our kids didn’t choose us.  We chose them.

I believe my top obligations to my children are:  safety, health, education and demonstration of work ethic.

My own vanity, entertainment, athletic ambitions… don’t even make that list, let alone make the top of it!

I’m sure there is far, far more… that i’ll discover in due time :)
