Happy Birthday, Dad

When we lived in Bartlesville, we would rent movies from Piggly Wiggly, turned Jewel Osco.  One time when I went with my Dad to return movies, the girl working asked me how I liked the movies.  I said, "We liked them so much, we taped them!"
He laughed nervously, stammering about how I didn't know what I was...he didn't know what I was...talking about...
And pushed me out of the store.

So began my first foot in mouth episodes.

I didn't know I was missing the first 8 minutes of Cinderella until I bought the movie myself in college when it was released from the Disney vault.


Happy 65th Birthday Dad!  Your retirement would have been full of canoeing.

my favorite dad and my favorite dog, Beau in my first week long canoe trip to The Big Thicket.  I didn't shower for 6 days.
