Dad

Reasons my dad is fucking awesome:

1.) He'd drive us to Indianapolis in his truck so we could play with the weird things at the mall and watch "Roger Rabbit" 14 times.
2.) During those trips we'd all share a "family coke."
3.) Besides my mother-in-law, he was one of the first family members to tell us he was excited about our Halloween wedding.
4.) He acted like Elwood Blues, even doing a dance, all the way down the aisle.
5.) I didn't mind being on "commercial duty" while he was taping either Star Trek or a marathon of Twilight Zone on TV.
6.) He painted the entire bathroom silly for us kids when we were little. Complete with a rainbow going into the "pot" of gold.
7.) We'd get to pick out one of this t-shirts to sleep in and whenever we got stuck with only white ones, he'd spice it up by telling us it was a white bear sitting in the woods during a blizzard.
8.) He'd read Calvin & Hobbes comics to us to fall asleep complete with voices.
9.) For Christmas he gave us a painting of a hearse.
10.) He's 50 today and is one of the funniest people I know.

Miss you dad. Happy Birthday!
