A Tribute to Clark, the Teacher

Things I've learned from Clark:

1. How to fly a kite.
2. How to give a man a haircut (or at least most of a haircut).
3. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  Especially in an argument.
4. How to be adaptable, especially when moving to a new place.
5. Action movies can be fun to watch.
6. Numbers are important, and can tell us lots of things about the world.
7. How to laugh at a situation.  Not every bit of bad luck needs to turn into a dramatic crisis.
8. That I love to go hiking.
9. That I was never a true nerd in high school.  I was on the very outskirts of nerd-dom.  
10. Also, nerds are cool.
11. How to set up a blog.
12. The rules of football (we go over this every year; not much retention going on).
13. People play professional Starcraft.  And other people commentate on the games.  And other people watch this.  A lot.
14. I have talents, and I should take confidence in them and share them with others.  I'm actually pretty good.
15. What a good dad looks like.
16. Everything a husband should be.   

Just a small sampling.  My Clarky is a great teacher.  Happy Anniversary.

P.S.
How has it been 4 years since I wrote this post?  And 2 years since I wrote this one?  They are some of my favorite posts.  Probably because they are about my favorite person.
