Found some motivation this morning. Weather was fantastic. Calories were burned so beer will be drank.

RIP to Dr. David Samost, my dad. He was a flawed but good man. Lots of baggage (maybe for both of us) from his and my mom's divorce, subsequent remarriages for both, etc. But had some sit-down's with him years ago, and got a better understanding of who he was and what he meant to me. Since then, we've had an even better relationship. I may not have seen him as often as I could/should, but always good connections when we did. He was pretty much a hermit socially, but loved his family. He would beam when they were all together at an event at his house (he didn't get out much on the last couple years). He got to meet two of his great-grandchildren, which he loved as well. Perhaps my favorite pic, surrounded by many of his grandkids and some of their significant others/spouses:
