The cosmic truth about fathering

The card attached to the present goes:

"To my baldy dad

Don't be sad

Be glad

Because you've had

A very merry Christmas

Love your lad, ACE"

Having ACE has taught me a truth as cosmic as any that I can find on a mountain in Tibet: There are no absolutes in raising a child. In any stressful situation, fathering is always a roll of the dice. The game may be messy, but I have never found one with more rewards and joys.

ACE and I
