I generally confine my linking to pages without mentioning it here (you do see the updated dates on the right, right?) but this link didn't fall into a ready category but was worth linking to. The Art of Manliness is a blog about what it sounds like, and one of their recent articles was rather poignant: The Hard Way.

It's about your grandparents. In a manner of speaking. My grandfather worked hard, damn hard and had a lot to show for it. He didn't take shortcuts. He didn't read any "For Dummies" books. He sure as hell didn't try some "super-easy diet plan". He worked. Hard. I'm going to be a complete tool and steal all the article's bolded lines.
