    My Father was a blue collar wor­king man, a bigot, and very angry at what life had thrown at him, but he loved to cook, lis­ten to jazz, and liked Impres­sio­nist art. He taught me to see beyond myself and he taught me how to learn. Those who lear­ned the les­son of this little card will say you are very wise, those who recei­ved for eigh­teen years and never did learn about boots or straps will just think you foolish.

    As an 18 year old on the brink of lea­ving the ‘nest’, I 100% agree with you.

    No Ed, but the essence of wis­dom might some­time be saying something very prac­ti­cal and real in a voice that at least says “lis­ten to me, please.”
