Life Lessons


I owe a lot of my sensibilities and taste to my dad, so when Jonah came across this old Onion headline: "Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation," it made me smile. My dad's love of good art, good food and good company were all instilled in me at an early age. But I think it takes growing up to fully appreciate all those things that made you a weird little kid, like knowing the words to "Tangled Up in Blue" at age seven. Happy Father's Day to the dads out there and thanks for the wisdom in its many forms.
