My dad is a meat and potatoes
kind of guy.
Meat and potatoes at meals.
Meat and potatoes in life.
His farming mantra:
First to prep equipment.
First in the field to plant.
First out of the field with the harvest.
Paying attention to
the basics,
the fundamentals,
gave us a focused and good life.
So I think about my meat and potatoes --
people first,
not programs, or process, or profit.
Work hard, do good work.
Care.
I may not eat meat and potatoes
every meal like we used to
but I’m grateful I grew up that way.
(What is your meat and potatoes?)
