Rules for My Unborn Son


"Rules for my Unborn Son is a collection of traditional, humorous, and urbane fatherly advice for boys. From the sartorial ("If you are tempted to wear a cowboy hat, resist") to the practical ("Keep a copy of your letters. It makes it easier for your biographer") to even a couple of sure-fire hangover cures ("There is no better remedy than a dip in the ocean"), the book of rules and accompanying quotations is quite simply an instruction manual for becoming a Good Man - industrious, thoughtful, charming, and of course, well-dressed."

Items of Want 015

The typical Items of Want posts I share always showcase something physical; a little gadget or doodad. Those arenā€™t bad things and some of them can even make life easier or better in different ways but every time I post, I feel that thereā€™s something missing.
This video encompasses the true ā€œitemsā€ that I want.
  • Emotions
  • To Witness Happiness
  • A Deeper Understanding
  • To Feel Love
Those are truly the things that money canā€™t buy. Iā€™ll take a short break from the usual Items of Want series and leave this video for you to contemplate.
