Things my daddio taught me:

- try to eat local, organic food as often as possible but don't fret if you occasionally consume grape soda and Doritos
- the comedy duo of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope transcend generational boundaries
- NPR is usually the best choice on the radio
- you are never too full for a good piece of dark chocolate
- be open to change
- Jacques Pepin has a lot to teach us
- the most insulting term you should ever call anyone is "dork-butt"
- a visit to a museum is always a good idea
- never stop learning
- asparagus and brussels sprouts are, in fact, delicious
- you can't beat a Yellow Labrador as a best friend
- the films at the art theater are usually superior to those at the megaplex
- Dumb and Dumber will make you laugh until you snort (and it's okay to contradict yourself sometimes...see previous bullet point)
- read both the Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker to balance yourself out
- people who park crooked in their parking spots are called "diagonerds"
- watch Public Television, you will learn something new
