“It is very easy to feel guilty in this job, unless you are a very kind of hard-skinned person. Many of us tend to blame any problems we have with our kids on the fact that we are separated at times, when, in fact, we might still have those problems there. But it is very easy to worry about those, and each of us try to deal with it in different ways, whether it is bringing our families here; whether it is trying to travel with them, I use my frequent flier miles to try to bring my kids with me to different hearings and different events; trying to call home each night; trying to e-mail, when I can remember my quick-dot-name, my handle; whether is it is losing video games to your kids at home on a regular basis, I do not think I have ever won, unless I do not play fair.”
