0:00.0	My oldest daughter had to have been four years old. And at the time, she had never said,
0:05.8	Dad, you write better than I do, or you run faster than I do. But when we went on the golf course,
0:12.3	she said, Dad, you hit the ball further than I do. And that really clicked to me that for some
