Thinking about Nick. Did this for him 30 years from now more than I did it for me or you.

Moving stuff Scott…and nice audio direction.
Wonderbooooooy. Very touching.
Good going, Dad. I wish there had been an Internet where I could have immortalized memories of my sons’ childhood thirty years ago.
For a forty-year-old old fart, you’re pretty impressive.
Hmmm dude thats deep stuff got me thinking…
Wow……that was very deep and touching. I think he will feel the same (if he hears this one day).
Meaningful diary Scott.
Thank you, Scott.
My son is only 18 months at the time of this writing, and I already find myself wondering where that time has gone. It saddens me to think of what you have said and to know that the time is going to fly by me as make every attempt to hold on to just a moment, or try to take nothing for granted.
Again, thanks for reminding me to slow down and think about the important things, but curse you for making a grown man cry (just a little bit).
i liked this kind of diary for a change. nick will really appreciate it. great job scott
Very cool… Makes me want to be a dad someday.
I hope I’m half as cool as you when I’m a dad.
Scott,
You’re a great dad. Listening to that made me a bit teary.
I hope when I have children I can not only express my feelings like you have, but be as wonderful of a father as you are. Nick is very fortunate to have a dad like you.
Best. Dad. Ever….. well after mine anyways. =D
Very nice! I think of this stuff all of the time. I am a dad now as well and my son is 6 months and as I play with him now and watch him grow I think of all the fun we will have over the years together. Enjoy it well you can Scott I know I will.
By the way big fan it’s been awhile since I have been around to read and comment on your work (about 6months to be accurate.) Hope you are well and in good spirits.
You, Mr. Scott Johnson, are a great dad.
Damnit, you made me cry… and my little one’s not even part of this word yet!
Thanks Scott – We lost my dad in April. This brought back some very good memories. I really appreciate it. Now to go play some pool with mine.
I don’t know what it was Scott, but this one almost made me cry, almost. I can only hope to be as good a dad as you are when I become one.
Scott, I really enjoyed this diary, the music in the background almost pushed me over the edge, and that rarely ever happens. This was a nice change for a diary, even though you almost always talk about serious real life things in the diary, this one was one of the deepest.
Wow, that was really awesome. Its great to know that somebody as entertaining and involved in the world in which he works and contributes is that much more dedicated to his family. When I start having kids I hope I can have the same kind of relationship with them.
Very nice Scott, my parents have been split up since I was 7 and I havent much interacted with my Dad near as much as we should have. You are a terrific father and I can tell you son wont forget that ever
love your shows and site
Scott, what a touching diary entry. The use of the music and the pacing (like many others have stated here) was very touching. You are obviously great dad, and Nick is very lucky. My dad is considerably older than other people my age, so I often try to spend as much time with him as possible as what you said is true; these moments do not last forever. We just have to embrace and enjoy the times we have. Again Scott, thank you for this entry.
I would write something now.. but I have a boy to go talk to…
Thanks for putting it all in perspective, we need it every once in a while..
Darrell
The last Darrell was not me.

I heard this at a moment when I needed it most. This was very helpful to me, maybe even a life-changer. More details when the time is right.
That was great Scott. My wife is pregnant with our first child – I’m gonna be a dad in, oh, just over 6 months from now. I don’t really know what to expect, but everyone keeps telling me that time flies by really quick, and not to miss out on things. I hope I have the presence of mind to record as much as I can of my kid growing up and have the ability to spend as much time as I can with them. I’m gonna do my best not to miss a thing. Keep it up with yours, and wish me luck with mine
My 2 and half year old son is upstairs asleep now, I’m gonna go watch him sleep for a while. I have no regrets, I spend all the time with him and his newly born sister. But I get this feeling that I miss them even though they are right beside me. That feeling is the feeling of loss which will inevitably happen in years to come, it just hasn’t gotten to me yet, but I can already feel it coming its so strong.
Thanks for sharing such an intimate and personal diary.
*hugs* =)
