I have a fantastic relationship with my two daughters, who are 11 and 13. I live down the street from my ex wife and I see my kids 3-5 days a week. I really look forward to seeing my kids possibly have a families of their own and being a part of that.

My youngest daughter falls into the Asperger’s/autism spectrum and she is very much an introvert. I’m not at all worried about her, but I could see her being a loner like myself.

So long as people are loners by choice, I never see a problem with it.

I really enjoy hiking and I plan on doing a lot of that when I don’t need to physically take care of my children in a few years. One of my goals is to hike the Appalachian trail. Statistically speaking, the two most prevalent age groups who hike it are either fresh college graduates or the newly retired.
