I attempt to do the same things over my weekends. It's way too easy to become so consumed with success that we forget the real reasons that we want to be successful in the first place, right? Good post from what I 'sense' as a great guy! Your kids, btw, will be grown and gone before you can blink ... so soak up every moment you can with them. My 2 cents ...
