On this 4th of July weekend, imagine how many people told them it couldn't be done ...

Teaching him the manly arts ... (-;

Another great post by Brett McKay on The Art of Manliness.

If you are a father with a young son like me, there are takeaways on A of M almost every week that will help you be a better father.

For all my other friends, just take a moment today to enjoy Zorba showing his "wild man".

As Zorba says "A man needs a little madness to cut the rope and be free..."

Have an awesome week!!! ...john

Great talk by Chris Lehmann on education today at the recent 140 conference.

It seems that resolutions are made to be broken. Is it any wonder then, that kids often say parents talk the talk - but don't walk the walk?   Breaking resolutions may seem like no big deal.  But if our kids hear us make those pledges and then not keep them... we're giving them another example of how it's okay to break your word.  Then they might figure it's also okay to violate contracts, or even ignore things... like marriage vows. So if your kids know about your resolutions... let them hold you accountable... so they can see that you don't take promises lightly.
