Penelope and I are favored with four lovely daughters. Five. How, just how can I do it with 5 women in my life? Some ask. The rest are thinking it …

It’s all about surfin’ those waves.

And now, I offer the 4 cardinal principles of successful estrogen wave surfing. Father with daughters, I trust you’ll capture copious notes:

• First. I must stay ever aware, sensing any and all approaching estrogen waves. Vigilance is needed … especially when the surf’s up.

• Second. As a wave draws near, I artfully time my ascension on the board, riding the front face of the wave. I can’t stress staying on the front side of things enough. What you do not want is for the wave to get away from you.

• Third. It’s important that I sustain my poise and balance, sovereignly harnessing the immense energy the wave is bringing. Calmness. A top-tier equestrian rider might call it “riding chilly” – staying cool in the mount.

• And finally. I must maintain my bearing until the passing estrogen wave fully dissipates. Whatever may happen, do not abandon your position.

I love the ladies in my life. Beauty. Grace. Spirit. And there you have it: the 4 cardinal principles of successful estrogen wave surfing. To discount them is to flounder in the breakers.

Surf on.
