Tony's message reminded me of a story my son told me yesterday.

His daughter and son-in-law were discussing serious issues involving their jobs at dinner; listening their 2 1/2 year old son Max, adopted at nine months from South Korea.

Discussion ended, Lindsay and Josh went on with their meal.

"What's the matter," Max said, after a couple minutes had passed.

"What do you mean, Max?"

"Why did you stop talking?" he said.

Talking is key to everything, especially when living on the edge.
