Some Father’s Day Wisdom From My Old Man

Now, they say that as you get older, your parents seem wiser. Well, I can’t say that has exactly been completely the case for me, but a related phenomena has come about. The older I get, the more I quote my dad. So, here’s a little Father’s Day quote from my dad. It resides on the giant quote wall in my coffeehouse, and you can see it in person there for the next week. For those with bad eyes, it reads:

“A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion.” -Mike Whaley

So, how’s that for a decent and creative Father’s Day gift. Better than a bad tie and cheaper to ship than a six-pack. I love ya Pop!

Happy Father’s Day

I love this little diagram. It shows visually some of the process in Buckingham’s Go Put Your Strengths to Work, one of my favorite business/personal dev. books. Good questions to consider.

Ok, is this for real? I mean, if Penn has been playing us all and doing acts of heroic patriotic virtue, he deserves, not an Oscar, but a new award named after him. This is interesting, but my Confessions of a Dangerous Mind BS meter is going off big time. This would make Joaquin Phoenix’s bearded rapper antics look like the Pink Panther. I am intrigued. Let’s see where this goes. If so, I can not wait to hear the debrief interview on Rush Limbaugh!

So, I re-read this article and I should not post things I skim over in between customers. I think I missed Breitbart’s tongue firmly planted in his cheek and read a couple claims incorrectly, thinking the claim was he actually conspired with the government to do this Iraq documentary. Anyway, I’ll leave my post up with this italicized mea culpa for not reading carefully before posting and commenting. Damn data flood.

Missing Link: Scientists In New York Unveil Fossil Of Lemur Monkey Hailed As Man’s Earliest Ancestor | World News | Sky News

So, I haven’t read this over too closely yet, but thought I’d toss it out there for your perousal. The most interesting comment I’ve heard thus far, regarding this animals characteristics unlike other lemurs and typical of monkies, is “But, what if it’s a retard?”  My young friend raises the question, in a somewhat non-PC manner, of whether finding one “link” can ever be proven as a “link” and not just a malformed instantation of one of the two species supposedly linked. I personally have no real problem with a natural selection and man’s corporality having evolved over millenia, but I do have a problem with bad arguments and overstated claims.

No wonder he won most of our arguments! Big congrats to my friend Trent Dougherty on his appointment to Baylor’s Philosophy Faculty. I wonder if they know what they are getting into. I’ll say of Trent what he once said of our friend Stumpy- “I’m just glad he’s on our side.”
