I usually refrain from commenting on people's blogs but reading this one specially in regards to 'The big question' I felt it would be wrong of me not to share something with you.
I enjoy your blog and found the letters from america very interesting..would love to read more on that topic
I just wanted to share that as a Baha'i (www.bahai.org) I myself am on a spiritual journey as well, one that I believe we all are...in my mind beeing able to understand the purpose of our existence here according to the teachings of Baha'u'llah has enriched my life and given me a serenity, perpective and understanding that makes a life very precious and purposeful.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Well said Tim. I realisd my three daughters were growing up so fast that I decided it was better to spend more quality time with them and less on reading up about the latest technology. Not easy to do sometimes but very rewarding.

I couldn't agree with you more Tim. I love my Web/.Net work BUT it is important to look at the overall picture. Do not let it rule your life. Do not feel guilty if you have time off (talking from experience here)! In fact MAKE TIME to have some time off with friends and family. My wife and I have just had a baby boy (our first, 12 days old) and this kinda puts things into perspective... Keep up the good work - hope you pop to the UK sometime for an MSDN session or something. Let us all know.
