    Readers — Many of us have been on this wild journey together for a long time — a decade. It certainly wasn’t for naught! Read that first column and catch up on the latest about the Free-Range Kids movement over at Let Grow, where I’m blogging now. Same goal, same me — but now with a board and a budget!

      Wow. A decade. During which your child(ren) added 10 years, and so did mine, and boy am I grateful for you counsel on site and via email.

      If we ever meet in person again — we once met in Hoboken at a party hosted by Linda Kraus — don’t be surprised if I burble my thanks.

      Doug. Congratulations. You’ve made a difference.
