As he got older, we would just say"That's a good idea dad" and leave it at that. I'm waiting for that.

It's coming fast
I face some of the same teasing from my kids over technology issues. Eventually when the answers I find on the internet don't solve the problem and I have to ask for help they let me have it. I would rather eat a goldfish than ask for help. They make me feel bad sometimes but now I remind them that is was me that taught them how to use a spoon. That usually quiets them down. When Who Wants To Be A Millionaire first came out and I would go straight to $1,000,000 they were amazed. My head is full of useless information but it felt great to have the kids look at me like I was a brain surgeon. I would love to know the day they crossed over and became smarter than the old man. Tom I'm like your dad in that I'm always thinking about engineering something better. Especially with the entrepreneurial shows that are on television nowadays.

Flipping hurting houses in TV is a wonderful business. If you need an assist Here we are.
