Dave Reflective, questioning, introspective, introverted Father of Daniel Lover of Daniel, music, and mathematics Who feels wonder, gratitude, and sentiment Who fears climate change, nuclear war, and ill health Who would like to see a passenger pigeon, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Pentangle in concert Resident of Seal Beach, California Crandall Daniel I admit, I'm awfully proud Of traits with which my son's endowed - Handsome, kind, thoughtful, wise, and bright. Could it be, I did something right?

Love it David! Showing your pride in your son warms my heart. I don't feel you with the T-Rex wish though! Lol. Good to know more about you!

A nice bio and an interesting poem. That poem could be mine, except it has to change son to daughter. I'm proud of her too. Thanks for both bio and poem. Good luck with the contest.

Thanks Hilda, having a kid gives a kind of fulfillment like no other, it seems.
