Instead, I drink coffee and play hours of Freecell. It is a sad reason to get up at 8:00 in the morning. I do, on the up side, have a very impressive win percentage these days.
So today, the first official day of summer, the longest day of the year, and father's day, will also be recorded as stop-playing-freecell-and-actually-do-things-that-matter-in-life day.
I was going to write a few things about my dad since it is father's day today. I admire so many qualities in my dad and he has been a role model to me in so many virtues: acceptance, patience, excellence, creativity, humility, wisdom, and tact, and many more. I could ramble on with stories from my childhood and try to give you an idea of who I see my dad to be, but as Howard Colby Ives has said, "Memory has pictures which words may never paint."
So I will leave it at that and if I will forever remember one thing that my father has taught me thru out my life it is that where ever you go there you are.
The virtue of this week is Faith.
