Things my father has taught me, Vol. 1

1. How to play my first ever tune on the piano.

2. Always to question the statistics you hear on TV.

3. That it is possible to function in a room where only 10% of the floor space is visible (but that maybe it would make for an easier life just to tidy up a little bit).

4. Which is the best seat on a roller coaster.

5. That life isn't complete without a little adventure.

Happy Birthday, Dad
