Catherine,

Hope this helps.

An old incantation on fatherhood:

"When I was six, my dad could do anything. When I was eight, my dad was
the greatest man in the world. When I was ten, my dad knew everything.
When I was twelve, my dad didn't know so much. When I was fourteen, my dad
didn't know anything. When I was sixteen, my dad was hopelessly
old-fashioned. When I was eighteen, my dad was a good man, but didn't
really know much about things. When I was twenty, my dad was a good man.
When I was twenty-two, I wished my dad was still around."
