It wont change your life much... ha, ha, ha, HA, HA, HA, , snicker, snicker, snort, cough, wink, nudge. | It already has, and I haven't even gotten to the fun parts yet.

Unlike most of the guys I used to hang out with, I was under no illusions that my Father was and is smarter than me.
I have the coolest Dad in the world.
And it wasn't because he let me get away with anything, just the opposite, but he did make sure that I understood that the things he taught me was to prepare me to live life on my own.
I still look to my Pop for advice and talk to him about all sorts of stuff.
If nothing else, I realize even more today the sacrifices he made for me and my brother growing up and he did it all without a complaint, without getting upset, cool as a cucumber all the time.
I was thinking about all the stuff I did growing up, the camping trips, basketball/soccer/volleyball practice/games, all of the stuff we did throughout the week, and he worked about 60 hrs a week most of the time.
I brought this up to him and asked him, "How'd you do it?"
He just grinned and said, "made it look easy, didn't I."
Ain't that the in' truth.
