I have a 4 year old son. Love of my life....and oh... how he loves his daddy.
I also have a great father, whom I admire, respect, and idolize. He spent his life serving the public, and I couldn't be prouder to call him my dad.
I guess what it boils down to, is how I want my son to look at me as he grows older. Is my 'job' - a masquaraded series of lies and deceit something that 'he' will be proud of...brag to his friends about?
I've been working my buns off the past 6 months getting numerous mainstream projects off the ground. Hopefully, within the next couple years I will be able to 'hang up' the adult biz, as you say, and focus on work that I can be more 'proud' of, and hopefully leave a legacy my son will be proud of also.

Exactly what I find myself thinking .
When my kid has " go to work day " he's gotta go with grampa instead of me .
My father is a respected government slave , gave his entire life to the government for nothing more than to feed his kids .
I have more respect than he would ever know , and so does pretty much anyone that knows him ..
When he is on his death bed he will be able to close his eyes and know he " played the game " just like he told me my whole life ....... " you gotta play the game kelly " he did well for himself even though nothing was on his side his whole life .
Some times I wonder if when I am on my death bed I will be able to do the same .
