When angry, my father sometimes threatened, “I’ll knock you into the middle of next week.” He was kidding, of course, but I always cleaned up my act anyway, just in case, because I didn't doubt his ability to do so if he wanted. When I became a father 24 years ago this month, I, too, gained the power to transcend the boundaries of time and space. So far, I’ve used this power only for good, but don’t push me.
