I also remember times with my father that were a bit dreaded, but I think deep inside me I wanted them. Water skiing. He always pushed me to the limits. MADE me go over the wake. MADE me get up on one ski. But it was his pushing that made me the skiier I am (ok, I'm 47 so maybe the skier I was). And golf. I have very few regrets in life, but one is that I didn't stick with my golf. My dad pushed so hard I rebelled and quit. I honestly think I could have gone on the tour. HE knew I had the talent, I was just young and stupid. But I still play pretty good. I'll always cherish those times with him. I think that is a wonderful memory!

You know I almost subjected myself to a 10 hour car ride right before my wedding, but then i realized that just because I was getting married didn't mean the lecture would end. Now I just get random phone calls, like tonight I got a lecture on making sure i had my 40 quarters clocked in with social security so I will qualify for the benefits....
