I remember the Christmas several years ago when I had the brilliant idea of giving our kids a ping pong table. What kid could resist?....mine of course. They hardly played enough to keep the dust off it. Then our son's first year of college and he learns how to what?....play ping pong! This, from the king of video games. Go figure. The only thing less predictable than kids are...ummm...nothing. We fool ourselves into thinking we know other people when in reality we barely scratch the surface of those who we know the best. Well intentioned plans flop. Unthoughtful mistakes rise to prominence. This is the pattern life often takes. It reinforces one's humility...if it needed any more reinforcing. Now....to go and lose another game to my son....
