Tuesday night – kids Everywhere

My day was all about kids not just my kids. You may have surmised I've been trying to spend more days in the office and fewer days working at home. I'm realizing that I'm missing the socialization even though I'm pretty productive when I work here at home. So today I went in and was surprised to learn that it was bring your kid to work day. Crawling with kids babies through high school kids all with one or two proud parents in tow.

Man, that brought back memories… Bringing all three boys into work to show them off and eat cheap bad french fries with unlimited ketchup was the most appealing part of the visit. For many years I did my jolts and volts show for the bring your kids to work crowd. I was asked about it this year but I expected to be out of town so I declined. … That presented a wonderful opportunity today because I got to watch my friend Tom do the same show in front of a packed crowd of kids and parents. It was so much fun to sit in the audience and watch him go through the spiel. You did a fantastic job.

I talked to a whole bunch of kids and I was only able to stay there about half an hour. The rest of my day was pretty difficult as days go. But it was brightened by that a few moments of kid energy in the morning.

By the time to do was over, I was pretty whipped… I had another thing to look forward to it. Game has been away for 2 1/2 days at lacrosse camp during his school break. He and his team came to our house for a team dinner tonight. That was about 22 kids that hadn't had a decent meal in almost 3 days. Diane Lisa and Elizabeth make sure that there was plenty of food.
