Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy. Robert Heinlein

I rather enjoy making my children's lives difficult. However, it does pay off for them.



A little known fact is that some 15 years or so ago, Maureen, too, played the clarinet. She came to hate it.

  1. Hate doesn't even scratch the surface when it comes to the clarinet. I didn't realize how long ago it was, but 15 years makes me feel OLD. -Maureen

  2. joe,
    Did you make Maureen take it because you wanted her to follow in Woody Allen's footsteps?? Or Benny Goodman??

  3. Al, I was lucky enough to see Woody Allen a few years ago when he came to Montreal. Though he is a good to very good clarinet player, there are some footprints of Woody's that I would never want Maureen to follow. GO HAWKS!!!!!
