How to be accountable for the job required of me. He was a tireless worker. How to fix things and use tools, and put them away after. I learned to appreciate the arts. He loved Monty Python for example and things like that. He loved all kinds of music, everything from Indian Raga to Rock and Roll and Jazz. I learned to appreciate history and learning. He was always reading books every night until his last days. He never advertised it, but he was kind of an animal rights activist in a way, he did not like zoos or agree with most types of pet ownership save dogs and cats. I remember telling him how I wanted to get a fish once, and he felt bad for all the fish being bred just to "live in little glass boxes." He taught me how to change oil and fix things on my car. He taught me how to cook. He loved baking scones. He taught me about camping and hiking, taking me on camping trips to Bodega Bay as a child, and hiking through coastal redwoods. He read to me and my brother as a child, Tolkein's "The Hobbit" every night one summer. And on the days he would forget I would crawl out of bed and scream like bloody hell at him to come read to us. He taught me the meaning of patience, in how he handled all of us kids and especially my hot tempered mother. He taught me the meaning of loyalty, in how he selflessly served his and his mother's business and the community for 35 years. I think he taught me more than anything just how to be true to one's self. I think he was really good at that. But in his final days I think he just had too much going on to handle. I will always regret not being able to do more for my Dad. To say I miss him is a ridiculous understatement. But I'll say it anyway. Dad I hope you're doing well.
