"My father's gifts are great but this I cannot overstate: his greatest coup is that he's who I choose to emulate." "I try to be the man that he can be when life's a trial, or simulate (should life dictate) a total juvenile." "He's got an ear that helps me hear the world's a symphony; a sparrow's chirp, a harley's burp, a cat stuck in a tree." He's got an eye that shows me why the world's a masterpiece, from the sunset hues to bird's-eye views to puddles trimmed with grease." "His need to read and yearn to learn go with him everywhere; I live that way and end each day much more- and less- aware." "But though I take his lead in oh so many ways and sorts" "The homage stops at argyle socks with plaid Bermuda shorts."
