Wow!...Not very good at this...

Just made a quick list of 16 of those favorite moments...I'll list the first and last...

1. Moment of recognition of son's "hand/eye coordination" as a 4-year-old. We were walking through a harvested corn field in my home town, not long after my father's passing. We both had "walking sticks"...his was a shortened broom stick. I began to pick up the occasional rock, toss it up and swing at it...making sporadic contact. The kid soon followed, successful in about 3 out of every 4 times.

2. Recent report where son gives indication to me over the phone that it seems he has a decent chance to compete for a starting position as a freshman for his D-1 college team.

What a long wild ride it has been...

I guess the favorite moment would have to be...tomorrow.

(Can you tell I'm a little bit excited, Chip?)
