Pretty

I read a blog or two. Not many - but a few. And, often - like this blog - they are interesting meanderings and people that I know, trust, am curious about, etc. One blog that I take a look at pretty regularly is from my friend Phil.

In addition to being a grand friend - Phil is thoughtful, expresses himself with beauty and often provokes thought about topics that you and I might "feel" but aren't able to put into really clear words.

Well, Phil did it again the other day. Since both he and I are the fathers to young girls, I know that resonated with a post he made recently. I originally thought that I would try to re-capture it in my own words. But, truthfully, I can't do much better than he did. So, below is a link to Phil's blog. I heartily recommend it as a place worth reading. In particular, the link that I am giving is to the recent post he made about raising our children.

I also found the video link on this particular post to be pretty effective and worthwhile. However, like Phil, I would add that anyone with an aversion to the F-Bomb might want to avoid it. That said, I would add that given the reality that is being described, the vulgarity might actually be pretty fitting.

Here's the link to Phil's blog.
