Growing up as a tomboy (or mini-butch), my dad taught me how to do the important things in life:
Fish.
Keep score at a baseball game.
Throw a split finger fastball.
Shoot pool.
Tie a necktie.
Shoot a layup.
Cook breakfast.
Be loyal.
Be patient.
Never force things.
Work hard.
Keep calm (before it was even a thing).
And always listen to your wife.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
