But he was the kind of man who could justify whopping a Son but not a Daughter.

SO when we pissed him off, he'd tell us the bullet points of what he needed us to do and then took a walk to cool down.

When he came back, we'd done whatever needed doing and he gave us whatever lecture he had in store for us in a calmer manner.

Walking helped his heart and lower back. So he was always more relaxed afterward.
