Some of you are Willie Watchers. You enjoy my Willie stories and want to know what he is up to. Our son Willie has been a major player in Nine Shift, teaching us about the 21st Century.
Willie is still in Portland, Oregon, one of the country's most liveable cities, bicycling to work and living without a car (no problem). Working, reading, playing music, took a university course last fall, spending time in the out of doors, dealing with landlords, and .... growing up.
He has not lost his sense of humor. When I asked him to explain to Julie (his mother, my wife) why I wear several pairs of shoes during the course of one day, he responded, "Dad, I'm not going to fight your battles anymore." The "anymore" made it a great line. Photo: Willie on the Oregon coast.
Thanks for the update on Willie. I've been a Willie watcher since we wondered if he would graduate! Its amazing how our kids tend to grow up so much faster after we let go.
