Plan to Have No Plan

There are moments of clarity, like today, where a corporate dad realizes that impatience is really a reaction to unmet expectations. If nothing else, that is a good reason to have a day, like today, to have no expectations, to plan to have no plans. The result is that my relationship with each of my kids, whose needs are so different, is renewed and strengthened with unimpeded individual, sincere, and spontaneous interaction. The result is a reminder that, apart from my wife, my kids are my closest friends. There are moments of clarity, like today, where a corporate dad realizes that one day to be entirely at their disposal is a small investment with tremendous returns.
