When I turned 21, my dad’s advice was threefold: “Stick to the clear stuff, find one or two choice beverages to order, and take the pain killer before you go to bed.” Simple, rational, and timeless thoughts.  He’s always been one to offer trustworthy advice and valid opinions. On the other side of my rebellious teenage years, I try to listen. Sometimes I don’t exactly like what he has to say, but dad usually knows best….

I’ve learned quite a few valuable lessons from him over the years: how to travel (which he does for work more often than not), the importance of coffee, how to successfully make it down a ski slope without wiping out, how to drive like a bat out of hell (safely, I promise) and most importantly, how to boogie board. Yes, there, I said it. Boogie board.

I’ve taught him a few things, too. Namely: beer pong.

He’s been a pretty cool dad, I’ve gotta say.

And, since you are probably wondering why in the world I titled this post what I did, this is my dad at work:

What a geek.

So, in honor of Father’s Day, and in honor of the man who is always on the go (he’s on plane to London as we speak, on Father’s Day), Happy Dad’s Day! We love you, big guy.
