Gloat--My dad, at 71, remembers things better than I do (except for where he put the car keys! He's cool to hang with. He's interesting! Moan--He can STILL embarrass me! (WHY can't I just GROW UP? I don't seem to embarrass him at all, and the Creator knows I do plenty of embarrassing things!!!!) V |

He cut his fingers pretty badly a couple of weeks ago but he's carrying on upholstering with one hand until his fingers heal. He sings all the time while he is working. |
