Once you have two kids you WILL at some point call one by the name of the other kid. I think it’s physics or something.

My Dad set the best example for me growing up. The longer I live the more amazed at how genuinely selfless, honest, and hard working he truly was.

If I live up to half the man he was, I would be honored. He was the best.

I am my father’s son.

Though I hope to avoid the race war my 81 year old father almost started at an LSU basketball game recently.

To his credit, he dated a black chick in the 70’s, so he can say these things.

I just fell asleep watching the basketball game. Somehow I changed the channel and it woke me up.

The other day I was strapping down some furniture in the bed of my truck to move. Once done, I literally tugged on the strap, tried to shake the furniture and said “that ain’t going nowhere”

I like the group’s reaction when Dr Rick tells them “we’re gonna open a PDF”

I put in LED bulbs and fixtures in my entire house and installed a lighting control system that I can control from my phone. I can turn everything off but it does annoy me that I have to do it every day. I did put my outside lights on a schedule and I never touch the switches. Super convenient.

I handed off a buggy to another dad at the grocery store and said, “ I left some gas in it for ya.” He just looked at me weird and walked off. I was upset that he didn’t get my joke.

I used to hate when people would tell me, you’re just like your dad. Then one day, I stopped, looked around and said, I’m my dad.

I’ll say things sometimes, and it’s like an echo from 20 years ago. I can hear my fathers voice in my own and I’ll think “I get it now old man.”


The frequency with which this is happening astounds me. My father is whom I’m turning out to be. As a child I never could see, but all his lessons are so clear lately.
