Guest Posting from My Father

All I can say is that if you like his words of wisdom, PLEASE leave a comment. The dude really likes comments. Without further adieu:

The wisdom of my old man
Driving; don,t get too mad at the driver who just cut you off to get into your lane. You are probably going to do the same thing to someone else in the next few miles.
New car; make a little scratch in an inconspicuous place on your new car as soon as you get it. That way you won,t freak out when someone else does it.
Wife; marry a woman who can cook. Otherwise you are cooked.
Dieting; won’t work if you continue to eat too much.
Grandchildren; our reward for not killing our children.
Work; try to be the owner. If not, at least the boss. Everything else will kick you in the ass eventually.
Dentist; if your new dentist doesn’t deride the work done by your previous dentist he probably wasn’t trained in u.s.
Doctors; office staff inefficiency will kill you before the doctor gets his chance.
Competitors; break bread with them if they request but be sure to wear a cup.
Kid athletes; forget about that kid of yours becoming a super athlete because he got 2 hits in a little league game. No way is that going to happen so relax and have a good time quietly watching (wish I knew that back when).
Great deals; no such thing exists. Never did. Never will.
Men over 65; if you see a young lady sneaking glances your way don’t get all worked up until you check your nose to see what might be hanging from it.
Kid; if they have mannerisms that you don’t like (sarcasm,anger,etc.) look back to when they were young and you will have to acknowledge that you instilled these in them.

Howard, you never told me your father was Yogi Berra

...in my haste to provide feedback, I provided type-o's instead.

Nice work Gerry...

Hey GS, this is a gem. I just got around to scanning Howard's blog. I would agree that you are like Yoda Berra (combination of a Yankees catcher and a Jedi, yo).

Had a wonderful breakfast with your Mom and Dad today. They are nicest people to invite us over and a delight to be around. We weathered a snowfall to get to their house and it was well worth it. The first thing your dad did was to show us what he had written. I never expected him to be such a funny writer, but now I know where you get some of your writing skills.

I want to make a small correction about what I wrote the other day about the "We" game, I goofed I never saw it before this weekend and I did not know how it was spelled so please forgive me I know now it it spelled Wii. I like it. Hope your feeling ok after your marathon.

Hey Mr. Solomon:

These are sage words of advice, with a few interesting maxims thrown in that really help the flow of the post.

Highlights included:
* Woman who can cook: I could not agree more.
* Dentist: I have the fillings to prove that this is true
* Nose: Nice.

Looking forward to more life lessons from this blog. God knows HS is unlikely to provide anything of substance.

Also, as a note, the period key is jusssst to the right of the comma key.

Nicholas
