I don't know what to say.

I have only just begun my family- a daughter, 5 months old. People used to tell me you can't understand about kids till you have them. They were right. I am so sorry about your son.

Being a father has changed me. Suddenly I see that things that I thought mattered a heap, don't really matter so much. You know what? I don't think ADO really matters so much.

I suppose I risk being laughed at from some quarters, posting like this. But I would say that life is indeed precious, and it speeds away from us fast enough without our wasting time arguing with each other about things that did not exist 2 years ago and will be gone again in another 2 years.

I've got my wife with daughter and nanny (a veritable camel train!) with me this time, pardon my ignorance but I'm not sure where LA is in relation to Utah, but I fly from London to LA en route to New Zealand on 19 September, hit LA 20 September, perhaps we could catch up for a drink? Or maybe I'll stop for Devcon after all.

Regards

JR
