I always said, "By damn, I am *not* going to be like me da!"  Funny
thing, I find myself being my father oftimes, and this includes both
the good and the bad.  I have always given more attention to the
negative aspects and tried to overcome them.  Fail often.

Also inherited some genetic things too, like high blood pressure, and
hair growin' off the top of me ears as I age!

Like the old saying, "Leave off the lad and let him play with the
knife.  He'll learn." 

Still, how we were raised influences us greatly, oftimes in dreadful
ways.  Fortunately *and* unfortunately we pass some of this on to our
kids as it was passed on to us.  Four generations visited upon and all
that.
