Lessons From My Dad

February 28, 2020 /

I’m honoring my dad, Dan Hossfeld, today by sharing some of his best life lessons:

Finish your food or someone else will eat it
Ohio State sucks
Bald is beautiful
Boxes of wine make for a great parallel parking course
Don’t let your gas tank get too low in the winter or the gas will freeze
Dave Matthews Band does have a few good songs
Visors > hats
The best way to mow the lawn is shirtless
Naps should be 20 minutes long
The best dessert is yellow cake with chocolate frosting
The best way to read something is out load for all to hear
The breakfast of champions is dessert or pancakes
Boys should treat you right
Kirk Herbstreit is a terrible announcer
Ending any sentence with “man” drives the point home
Tint your car windows
Loving someone means driving them home to another state in the snow when they are too scared to drive themselves
Washing your car yourself beats going through the car wash
Saki is gross
Wine is bets enjoyed in a plastic cup
Backpacks are the superior luggage
DNA doesn’t make a dad- Love, support, encouragement (and paying for your college- thanks again!) does. Only the best dad ever would pick up his life in Michigan and move to Indiana to be closer to his daughter and grandson.

Thank you for all you do, Speedy! I am lucky to call you my Dad.
