Here's a trifle of a column by Sean Gonsalves. It's quite nice, in that proud parent way, and although it isn't what I would call a logically persuasive argument, its anecdotal rhetoric is compelling.
And what do you want to be when you grow up?
Thank you,

“When you grow up” implies an end point, a completeness. I don’t think my life is like that, and I no longer want it to be. But I would still like to learn/do/share these things:
– write and illustrate a children’s book
– dance: bellydancing and yoag are parts of the current practice
– take a poetry writing class
– finish the work in the bedroom so we can sleep in it
– get a whole lot better at web site design (look and feel) and construction
– learn to notice and understand the trees where I live
– raise a kid or 2
…why is it scary to write these down?
