THINGS I WISH MY KIDS WOULD ASK
EDITOR'S NOTE: Barry Courter has a 23-year-old son who graduated from college last year and an 19-year-old daughter who is a freshman in college.
Q: Dad, you've written these questions and the answers for more than two years. Is there a running theme or themes?

Basically, there is no point in reinventing the wheel, but the best way to learn is by doing it yourself.
