Civility in critiquing the ideas of others is no vice. Rudeness in defending your own ideas is no virtue.

Well, today was Father's Day, which I normally dislike, but we had a great day.  We all went for a long walk/bike ride, I took one son for a swim and helped another with his programming.  Best of all, my kids bought me a bike.  I haven't had a bike since I was 15 years old, and I have wanted one for a while, so we went and found a great new bicycle.  Now, those who know me may guess that it would have to be a big bike, as I am 6' 6 1/2" (approx 2 meters for those who use the metric system) and weigh 260 lbs (115kg ?).  It is a big bike, but I love it.  I have already put about fifteen miles on it, and am looking forward to exploring much further afield than I have while walking, which I do a lot as well.  What a great present!  And what a great day.
