“We've got a pretty close family. Just ended fourteen years of travel hockey with two boys. My daughter was always a part of that. So there's a lot of trips to the hockey games. As I tell idiotic, stupid, youth-sport parents, it's about the drive there and the drive back, not about the trophy or how your kid played. We've always had a good relationship with our kids. You're driving with them and talking to them at the age of eight. It became this adventure and they learned to love it. You connect, you really do. It's not for every family.” YearsTwoKidsAgeGamesSportsParentTalkingBoysStupidYouthAdventureDaughterEightDrivingMy DaughterHockeyFourteenTrophiesIdioticGood RelationshipYouth SportsClose Family Author:Jeff Daniels

“In those days, in Far Rockaway, there was a youth center for Jewish kids at the temple.... Somebody nominated me for president of the youth center. The elders began getting nervous, because I was an avowed atheist by that time.... I thought nature itself was so interesting that I didn't want it distorted like that. And so I gradually came to disbelieve the whole religion.” WantWholeKidsPresidentInterestingAtheismYouthAtheistNervousTemplesElders Author:Richard P. Feynman
