My daughter Madeleine is eight today (shown here a few months ago when she was “head of school” for a day – although the real head forgot to sign her certificate!). I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have Madeleine in my life at my (increasingly) advanced age. She keeps me young and she takes my heart, even though, pretty soon, I’ll be catching up to this guy who also has his birthday today. Our plans for the day are to go to a Sparks game to celebrate Madeleine’s cumpleanos and Father’s Day – definitely in that order. (Oh, yes, Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers out there too. )

1. Kathy from Austin:Happy Father’s Day, Roger! That is some lucky girl. Being the mother of a 9-year old girl, I know how they can steal your heart. My daughter is a fortunate one too. Her father is just too terrific for words.

So, Roger, since you are catching up to Paul McCartney, does that mean you have caught up to the level of that McCartney money?
Jun 18, 2006 - 12:46 pm 3. Ray:Most impressive with these little sweethearts is the enormous enthusiam that they approach everything. Our little six year old grand daughter simply cannot wait to show her school treasures.
Jun 18, 2006 - 12:47 pm 4. Fausta:Many many happy birthdays and many many happy father’s day to Madeline and Dad!
Jun 18, 2006 - 1:35 pm 5. MarkD:Kids make it all worthwhile. Enjoy, they grow up too fast.
My youngest is going into her senior year in college, and it seems like yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital.
