Inheriting the spirit of adventure
My Dad is one of the most adventuresome people I know. He is always striving for something bigger, truer, harder, higher. The highest point in the city, the top of the highest (accessible, relatively non-technical) mountain, the depth of the densest tome. Arguing with him, traveling with him, is simultaneously infuriating and illuminating because he has so much drive to know and to do. All that same desire that is present in me is there because of him. I will never cease being impressed and inspired by my Dad. And I hope that when I am his age I will be able to do half the things, mentally and physically, that he can.
Dad, here is to all of our past adventures and a hope that we will have many, many more. Happy father's day!
