You would have really liked Ralph, lil. I worded this post wrong. I shouldn't have asked, "is Ralph right?" Because, Ralph never told me that this was how life IS. Rather, he was reflecting, in a very "macro" way on his life. What I should have asked is, what would you name the stage of life you are in, right now? -That would have provided some interesting answers I think. I wish I would have had you as a teacher when I was in college. It's NOT navel-gazing to be reflective.
-Damn straight. I've been meditating lately and after a session recently I came to the conclusion that I have to treat my family/marriage the way I do the projects I work on. Why? Because that's how I work best and having a happy family/marriage is a lot of work. So, I started a project I'm calling husband/daddy 2.0. -1.0 was already pretty good, if you ask me :)I asked my class last week to prepare a short speech that discussed an identity-defining moment in their lives.
-This is essentially the topic of the podcast I am supposed to be working on :) I'd have loved to have heard the speeches.
