Dad's 70th
Mom threw a fabulous family-and-friends fete for Dad's 70th last Sunday. The usual pre-party panic somehow paid off and the house was transformed into a perfect upscale brunch locale. A few photos, taken by Dad's various children and grandchilren, are on Dad's Flickr site. I had the bright idea that I was going to write a lengthy satirical poem about his many careers, marriages, and hobbies (he's a colorful character), but I couldn't seem to get anything to rhyme. I started out with "Dad turned 70 today, though he hardly looks that way," (and he really doesn't -- he isn't even gray -- shoot, that rhymes! I didn't think of that before, damn). Since he's still not walking we kept the party small -- two more affairs are set to be scheduled in the summer -- maybe I'll get something better together by then.
