Things my Dad has taught me:
- How to waterski (this was a very vital skill in my childhood)
- Roman numerals (I have no idea why I remember that)
- How to write an outline (a dying art, I fear)
- How to tie a uni-knot, bait my hook, cast, set the hook, land the fish, and release (and yet, I still let him do all of those steps for me, aside from the casting and catching)
- The joy of a well-told story (stay away from smartweed!)
- The importance of altruism
- Ethics
- That even the slightest Southern accent can't hide behind the phrase "right nice white rice"
And so, so much more. Thanks, Dad, for setting such a great example for life. May your birthday be the best yet!
