Who am I anyway?

Where my daughter's artwork and I collide...

She made this today.

I just finished cleaning the kitchen and came out to a full-blown 'dance party' going on in the living room.  They just finished listening to 'Sexy Back', then 'Billy Jean', and Elliot Yamin just finished 'Alright'.

Remember Elliot Yamin?  Best male singer ever on Idol?  His album is great.  You should check it.

Back to me and the mask.

So they're dancing.  Daddy grabs the mask, puts it in front of his face, and the mask starts dancing.  Kids laughed at first...

(Whoops, Kanye's "Stronger" just fired up...)

But then, as the mask started head-dipping with Daddy they started to freak out a bit.  Why? Well, 'cause the mask was starting to look like Daddy.

Let that be a warning to all of us.

A mask can be fun, useful, a diversion, an assertion.

But wear a mask too convincingly and for too long and the real person beneath might start to fade.

Here's to keeping it real.

(and fun)
