 Dakota

Sunday was Fathers day which brings the realization that for every year that passes, your son becomes more of a man. Dakota is now 11 and quickly coming into his own. I blogged about my son Oct. 26, 2007 after a trip to Colorado and a request to watch a video.

Since then he has grown and I have tried not to spend as much time at the computer....but as you may have seen, I have not been here for some time because I have taken up a new Hobby in Day Trading. I began a New Blog and have been making some extra money on the side as a swing trader in the stock market. When I made $14,000 in 3 days and came in 2nd place in a portfolio contest on a popular stock site my first try, I was hooked.  But time is more precious then money and time spent with my son is the best time of all.

This week I'll be going on a cruise and wanted Dakota to take up Scuba Diving. Though he has yet to finish the class, by end of summer we should be able to go anywhere in the world and scuba together and create some amazing memories.




So on Fathers day when driving back from dinner Dakota was sitting in the back seat listening to his I-Touch and kept singing one song over and over as best he could, not knowing I was listening with his headphones on....and smiling at his tunage. the song?...Lynryd Skynyrd's SiSimple Man by Shinedown.

My son learns everday from my examples but the message of this song is clear, Be A Simple Kind Of Man, Be Something You Love and Understand I like those words and just as he wanted to show me his video back in October of Don't Blink, I offer this video to my Son for Fathers Day.

Happy Fathers day to all Dad's blessed to have Children,

DEO
