good
lord ed-
I feel
bad cause I'm 52 and my youngest is 10. Sometimes we just put 1 foot in front of
the other , move forward and hope for the best. I do stay on top of their school
performance tho- because scholarships are essential. So far the kids have not
let me down. The plus side is that I think us older guys make great dads.
4-year-olds are great and there is something special about little girls and
their dads. Sadly none of mine seem to get the drum thing- ah
well.

I'm the 52-year-old proud father of a girl who's turning four next
month. What do you think I'll be paying for her college education?
My estimate is roughly $7.000.000 per year, that is, if she gets a
scholarship.
