I created this Kumos in memory of my father.

He used to take my sister and me to the playground every week when we were little. He would take us to the state park with the World's Best Dog (yes, he was, no matter how awesome your dog is) and we'd play hide and seek, and Fetch, and have picnics, and he'd put me on his shoulders and wade as far into the reservoir as he could.

Every other Sunday, he made us French toast and sausage. When his work schedule allowed, he would pick me up from school and go out for ice cream on the way home (I had Pink Bubblegum, he had a shake).

He could make turtledoves come straight to him by whistling just like one. In the early 80's, he set up his work line to forward to Dial-a-Prayer when he was off duty, just to screw with people. He could play "Popcorn" and "William Tell overture" just by slapping his cheeks (and taught me how to do it, too!).

When I was two, he sat me down in front of the TV, turned on the premiere of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and told me "here, you'll like this." And I did. He spent the next ten years teasing me about my crush on Wesley.

He taught me how to change a bike tire, how to make things out of wood, how to pick a tomato. He taught me that I should have gone to the bathroom before we left.

Because he died of a heart attack, he couldn't donate any of his soft organs, but the Rocky Mountain Lion's Eye Bank matched his corneas to a man in Dublin, and the Donor Alliance took some of his bones for grafts. It's tremendously comforting that his last act was one of love and generosity.

Things I Learned From Dad:

If you have American tools, you'll need metric. If you have metric,you'll need American. It's better to just roll with it.

There is no such thing as a truly awful pun, only a bad audience.

Blue jays are called "camp robbers" for a reason. A very good reason.Don't leave your food out.

Kansas really is forever.

There isn't any shame in playing your favorite movie so often thatyour VCR melts it.

If you re-route a stream just right, hilarity will ensue.

Golden retrievers make excellent hide-and-seek partners.

If you're going to swear, do it creatively.

The easy way is easy, but the hard way is usually more fun.

Just because you don't skip a stone the first time you try doesn'tmean you'll never do it.

Measure twice, cut once. And then measure again.

There are times when it's better to not say something, even when whatyou have to say is true.

Make sure you know what's in your food before you eat it.

Just because what's on your plate doesn't look familiar doesn't meanit won't taste good.

Life is ridiculous. If you can't find something to laugh at, howeversmall, you're doing something wrong.
