1. Not yet. My daughter is six going on seven, so I've got time. She keeps growing on me, though, is the problem.

2. Some, less so since the pandemic. :)

3. Of late, a sing-along of "Diggy Diggy Hole". Secondarily, I always wanted to have a sing-along in a bar doing "To Life" like in "Fiddler on the Roof". Not being a drinking guy and not getting out much, it's been difficult. On the other hand, I did get to see Weird Al live with my wife once, so honestly I'm good I think on that front. :)

My oldest daughter is 40. Time flies. Enjoy the thing, Dad.

2: I occasionally let myself be dragged into things if people will be sad if I don’t, but for the last year I’ve been avoiding large group activities, and I think I’ve only had maybe four meetups with a small group.

3: I would definitely like to force everybody I know to come to Substack-Con, once I convince Substack to have said Substack-Con. I want to buy my tickets already!

You gotta just buy non-refundable flights to St Louis in 2025. Then they have no choice!

This made me so *sad* for him! That empty passenger seat killed me.

Any time you get with your teen is worth it. Just don't expect them to appreciate it or you then you won't be disappointed. It's not until they are adults and handling the demands of the world that they will recognize your being there for them. For me it was worth the wait.
