I don't like to be personal, but I will:  How many children do you have,
Brad?  If you do have children, do you stay home with them (when they're
sick, for example) or does your wife?  If it's you, then I congratulate
you on "reconciling your job and your desire to be with them".  Otherwise
your wife -- like mine -- is caught in the usual bind, and the only dif-
ference between you and me is that I'm not willing to tell her she deserves
it.

If you don't have children, think hard before you have any.  They're more
important than your job, but if you have children you need a job even more
than before.

By the way, why isn't all this in can.politics?  Or is that dead?
