Well Rounded

I can't imagine Caleb getting a better education anywhere else. Beth is so good with him. She keeps him busy with meaningful activity.   This  day he had been threading the oversized needle, and stitching
this item. Is that a prerequisite for soccer, or what?

I do know that my father, his great grand father could sew...he was well rounded. He also played football and read everything he could get hold of. He knew  the Bible from cover to cover. He built, plumed and wired  our house...and was a research chemist by trade. I'll not say he didn't cook, but I don't remember seeing that. He did have a garden and was president of his garden club. With those genes and a mother  who is tops at exposing him to lots of activities, he is bound to be a winner.


I'm very impressed with Ashton Kutcher at this time. He is talking to young teens in a way they are not hearing these days. He is telling them to work. GASP! He is  telling them well. Following is a short bit of what he's been saying:
KUTCHER:  I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work.  When I was 13 I had my first job with my dad carrying shingles up to the roof.  And then I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant.  And then I got a job in a grocery store deli.  And then I got a job in a factory sweeping cheerio dust off the ground.  And I've never had a job in my life that I was better than.  I was always just lucky to have a job.  And every job I had was a steppingstone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job.  And so opportunities look a lot like work.
