My father was the quintessential husband and dad.

Far as I can tell, I still have most of my hair, my gut is not hanging over my belt, and I still have all of my teeth.

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain.

I cannot be understood in three minutes.

I find myself, at this time in my life, no less challenged, no less plagued, no less intrigued by what I still don't know.
