		<description>Ain&#039;t it the truth?  Even at my age I sometimes catch myself wondering if I am doing the &quot;right thing&quot;.  At my school, I remember not wanting to go to the Christmas performance.  I was tired and had to attend a Foreign Affairs banquet earlier in the evening and arrived in a grumpy mood.  I was shocked when I walked into the campus theater and there were 5,000 students, all laughing and singing.

Wonderfully written account comparing of the angst we sometimes bring to our tables and realizing that eventually somebody is gonna&#039; do the dishes.

		<description>That&#039;s definitely why you (we) do it. 

Sure, you have tons of students and I have two kids, but isn&#039;t that the same thing???
