Welcome to Dad's Academy

Dad's Academy is your school away from school. Don't groan and roll your eyes. You will find that we cover all kinds of subjects. The goal is to make you use your noodle. Most classes take between 5 and 15 minutes (if your not distracted by your friend's texts).
Once you complete a lesson in Dad's Academy you qualify to enjoy some free time (with your phone, iTouch, Wii or good old fashioned brain numbing TV).

Day 26: Importance of Journals/Personal record keeping

Keeping a journal, diary, electronic history or other personal record of your life is not only fun (to look back on in future years) but also important for a number of reasons.  Human memory has been proven to be extremely inaccurate.  We simply do not remember events and activities with the passage of time.  Remarkably, we do retain emotions but even those need markers (pictures, music, smells) to reignite past and fading memories. 
View the following pictures and try to remember the facts associate with the images.  For example, what year was this, where did the event take place, what did you eat  who was there, what other events took place other than pictured, were there any significant events at the event, how did you arrive at the event, what did you do the week following the event?
