Balance in the economy, the environment, and especially our lives is paramount if we are to achieve sustainable development. Putting one's family first is essential. However, we must also consider how our broader actions impact fiscal, social, and environmental sustainability. We cannot be profligate, but at the same time we must be cautious against the overly Puritanical route. Thanks again and I shall definitely keep your comments in mind.

I applaud your intensified commitment to global preservation for future generations. My only caution is that you not loose sight of another important responsibility- the daily, unclamorous role of husband and father. And I speak with some authority as a husband and father of a son and daughter. It is so easy to lose sight of the latter responsibility. Now that I am retired my wife and I do a lot of retrospection. And I am learning how much I failed. Christine will mention a children's book that we read to our then infant children. I don't remember the book and can barely remember any instances of reading to them from any book except Pat The Bunny. And I could cite other examples of milestone events for Chris and the kids that elicit little or no memory from me. I am not senile. I am just a father who sometimes had his priorities confused.
