Teaching Dana Airplanes, Because He Is A Moron
I sat down with Dana to teach him about the Wright Brothers and their pursuit of the first flight. Dana was a bit sluggish in class today because he's reverted to his beer-chugging routine and is now chugging a beer a day until Luke Coombs agrees to join him. Which will never happen. In other words, Dana created a completely unrealistic goal line to justify chugging a beer every day for the rest of his life. It's not the worst way to avoid answering hard questions about yourself.
Check out The Wright Brothers, another David McCullough book that is quite pleasant. These guys were incredibly daring and brilliant and their story will transport you back to a time when America was DOMINATING firsts.
