The most important job I've ever had has been that of being a father. I'd rather fail at anything else I ever tried than fail at that, and the good news is that doesn't seem to be the case. The kids have done themselves alright.

And for that, I have the model of my own father to thank.

Happy Father's Day weekend, everyone.
