"Does anyone have any questions?" The leader of the parent group looked out over the 200 Mom's and Dad's. I have a question--"Because my son has an issue with smoking weed, does that mean I can't have a beer around him?" God I was a ding dong. I asked the question that was on the mind of dozens of participants and I thought I had more courage than the rest because I asked the tough question. Courage or lack of brains. I didn't need to do any work. Of course not--my son was in no way affected by my conduct....right.
Spring ahead from 2004 to November 2009. This Saturday and Sunday I will be a speaker at the Wisconsin Challenge Academy Parent weekend. I am grateful that life has given me another opportunity to be part of the solution instead of continuing to be part of the problem. Telling the parents what it was like, what happened and what it's like today. The title of my presentation is taken from Aaron's words to me--"You Gotta Do Something About You. Now that this has happened, what are you going to do about you?"
Aaron and Patrick will be there with me.
