Brick and Mortar

June 16

I am thankful for brick and mortar. The name brick and mortar refers to a company that has a physical presence, rather than, say, a virtual presence. Although I enjoy ordering things on the internet, it is nice to walk into a store or business and actually see the items that you are interested in. The metaphor that brick and mortar represents are actual physical things, rather than just thought and dreams. On this Father's Day, we fathers should always remember that being a father is about "brick and mortar", not about wishes and dreams, but about work and substance. In other words, we need to put in the time it takes to build a great product, that of a wonderful son or daughter.

This is a photo of the side of the old arsenal on the Louisiana state capitol grounds. The arsenal was also featured in this blog on arsenals (May 25).

I want to wish everyone a happy Father's Day today. I have already posted about what my father meant to me growing up and in my adult years. Being a father has blessed my life immensely. To be a part of your children's lives makes all the work well worth it. And to see them grow into adults that you are proud of makes it even better. Thank you Beth and John!
