being liberal is great when you have nothing, but when it is you that have lots from hard work and someone suggests you give it all away, you suddenly understand that it is not fair.

That is not to suggest we should not be charitable to those who do not have due to the uncertainties of life, but it should be of our own free will and only to those who are not needy because they are lazy.

I enjoyed those early days of blogging. I still get more views on my blog than on the website that I pay for, despite not posting in the last year and infrequently for a long time before that. Interesting antedote about the father and daughter.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

When I took Traveling With The Kid down I had a hardback book made for both of us. It’s still fun to look through all of those posts. Substack is the only place I write now, mainly because it’s fun and keeps me thinking about things!

That's great that you preserved the blog as a book.
