I was too busy to know any of those people back when I was that age. (Was I EVER that age? Ted, do you remember?) >> My wife was shocked once we started having kids and I started doing >> things with them; she never thought I was going to be a 'doting father', >> rather, I was going to be one of those workaholic dads who traveled a >> lot and went to sporting events on weekends.

I've heard that too. <s> Good thing it didn't happen to me. >> I'm pretty sure this is all waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay OT by now, though. > > Bah-- gotta fill the list with something now that VFP is dead. ;-) > [OT] is more like [POLITICS AND RELIGION] last I read it anyways... Well, I wouldn't want to make Hal mad. He's ornery about that sort of thing, going OT, you know. I try and respect my elders. Back ON-T, though... 15 years ago, I had to lock myself in my room and put headphones on to keep the noise of the little girls out so I could concentrate on coding. That was back when FoxForum only had 17 sections. :) Now, I can write code with the house full of kids. Have learned to tune out the regular screams and only react when I hear the hollering that indicates someone is bleeding. So, yes, kids have made me a better developer. /snicker/ As far as folks changing.... only my wife changed. I haven't changed at all, except for the better. And shorter. And fatter. And balder. And slower-witted-er. All of which are good things when you're married to some middle-aged housewife. Seen on another list somewhere (did I post this here before?): "Right now, my future trophy wife is struggling to get through fifth grade geography."
