My Dad
"Papa" with Baby David
(Grandson #8)
Things I've Learned From My Dad:
Wear sunscreen
Everyone needs alone time
One need not be religious to be moral
Babies are for holding, rocking and snuggling
The Doors are essential to any musical library
Fathers can be counted on in all times of crisis
The only person you need to impress is yourself
You are never too old to "cannonball" into the pool
If you have the money and time, travel, travel, travel
Nothing beats a good dirty joke for a real, loud belly laugh
Life is too short to waste time with stupid or annoying people
Anyone can be silenced by one well timed and well aimed "look"
Parenting never stops no matter what age your children reach
There is no guarantee that the money management gene will
be passed from father to daughter
If you have nothing nice to say, its better to say nothing at all
Patriotism is not just a sentiment; it is demonstrated by sacrifice
Fixing the things that need to be fixed and plowing the driveway after a snowstorm
are all ways to say "I Love You"
You can never watch too much of the History, Military or National Geographic channel
All human experiences may be understood through a quote from a great war movie
One doesn't need to earn a degree to be one of the smartest people in the room
Unless you own stock in the electric company, turn off the damn lights!
Honoring your parents is not an option, it is a lifetime commitment
The true test of character may be found in one's work ethic
If you are gonna laugh, you might as well do it with gusto
Peace may be found on a lake or in a walk in the woods
Boys of every age love baseball, fishing and boob jokes
Don't ever drive when you are really, really mad
but
Driving fast is one of the great joys of life
Anything can be fixed with a roll of duct tape
You are never too old to act like a big kid
Grandsons are very entertaining
They are also very, very loud
Diners are a culinary delight
There is a big difference between a father and a dad...
Happy Father's Dad.
