Labor of Love
I haven't put a bike together in over 20 years... and I had 2!
Worth every second!
Thank God birthdays are only once a year! 18 3-and-4 yr olds for 2 1/2 hrs is just about all I can take!

Not mine, I'm the Godfather. Mother and I are good friends, sometimes dateing, but I'm really the closest person to a father in their life.

Thanks for being a man, John. Kids need that. It takes a pretty good guy to step in a play the father figure when the real dad is AWOL for whatever reason. You can be proud of yourself for that.

I catch myself all the time sounding just like my parents, and I realize that's the way it's supposed to be. We learn from our folks and experiences whether we know it at the time or not. It's the natural order of things.
Kudos, John for supplying these girls with what a high percentage of this country's children are missing: a father figure.
