My daughter is 13 today

My daughter turned 13 in America. In a country that elected a man who scores women on their looks.

She’s turning 13 in a country with more CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies named John than female CEO’s.

In a country where someone called her bossy for leading on the soccer field.

Young men aren’t called bossy. Only young women. See the third sentence of this piece.

Last year we went deep sea fishing in Florida. My then 12-year old daughter and 10-year old son.

I think about the web presence #highered and how to make a good second impression. I love my life, being a dad and @curling.
