If he didn't leave a conventional inheritance to you guys, he left one hell of a legacy. Don't ever forget that. J.D., it’s awesome of you to remember your Father on such a day.

I just quit my job last week to work full time on starting my business. I've been wanting to for about 2 years, and finally saved up enough money and gumption to have a go at it. Maybe I'll try to save some money for my kids though. :-) Congrats!

Does it have to do with this blog, or unrelated? I love to hear entrepreneurial stories--are you going to give a blow-by-blow of what you're doing? That would be pretty cool. Awesome story about your dad by the way. I lost my dad at a young age, too--he was also the entrepreneurial type, and refused to save a penny. I like to think my various entrepreneurial ventures came via his genes. (Luckily I didn't inherit his spending ways.) So what’s your business? Does it have to do with this blog, or unrelated?
