Moderation In All Things
If anyone knows me from my younger days,they will tell you that I sometimes would over indulge myself in whatever activity I might have been involved in at the time.I never heeded the famous quote by the Ancient Greeks."Moderation in all things."
If I was on my motorcycle,my friends would start divvying up my possessions,betting on whether I would make it through the night.If I was invited to a party,I was the first one thereand the last one to leave.If I was drinking,I didn't drink socially,I drank until I got drunk.Luckily for me I never hurt myselfor anyone physically during my exploits.Maybe I hurt some feelings though.Especially girls gone by.Yet,I grew out of these traits because I became aFatherand have a family of my own.Nothing like responsibility to straighten a guy out.Well,my youngest son is now 17 years oldand I believe a responsible young adult.He did not wish to accompany me on my vacation back toWisconsin,so he stayed at home.I never had to worry about him drinkingor taking drugs.He never displayed any of the warning signs.I should know.Then came the dreaded phone call from one of my daughters.My son is having a party!But she told me not to worry."Why?"Because it is a nerd party!Where my sonand his friends sit around with computersand play games online all day.I don't know if I should say,"Where did I go wrong?"Or"I am so proud of you."
This is,I Am Very Proud Of My Son,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
"If you like nerds, Raise your hands. If you don't like nerds, raise your standards."- Violet Haberdasher -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
