    Yeah, I know that Davy Crockett.

    We all thank him for that, but sometimes, he needs to talk to the family more. I hope I won't be in this situation.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    So what is your Dad's hobby?
    What does he do to relax?
    Does he get any exercise?

    In short does he get an oppourtunity to unwind from work?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    It happens to all of us. Work tends to be a lot harder (and more) than school. In addition to Pape's questions: what kind of job does he do ?

    If he works 10 hours (or more) he's bound to be exhausted.
    If he has a lot of meetings he's bound to be frustrated, especially if he is there representing the interest of other people (I have a friend working in the national 'farmer's union', some things really get under his skin)
    If he works shifts his bad sleeping habits will leave him grouchy.
    ....


    In short, work isn't always fun, it's what people have to do. Be nice to your dad. If you want to talk to him after work don't start about school or things only concerning you. Don't ask him how his day was, there's probably a reason he isn't too happy. Basically, start the conversation with :"Can I get you a beer, dad ?".

    Car business. Cars, cars, cars, auto parts.... That's why I love cars too.

    Yeah, my dad gets some exercise(tennis 3 times a week, at 7 in the morning ), and he has some hobbies too. Travelling, he loves that.

    He works more than 10 hours a day...
    And I only talk to him at 1 in the morning, but I get to talk to him alot.

    What about your dads? Are they somehow the same to my dad?
