Miss you, Dad.

Lost Dad suddenly in 1968. Mrs lost her dad the same year. Now I'm 10 years older than he ever got to be. I always wonder, would the man who helped turn the Okla. Republican party into a real force be a RINO or a Tea Partier today? 1968 was a long, long time ago. Miss you, Dad.

Last year, my kids promised to pay for my Usenet sub for a year. All of about $15 to each of them. I haven't mentioned it since. I wonder what they'll promise me this year, if they happen to think of it. (One son has started following Ace, but told me last night he hasn't time for comments. I advised he always check for Vic's morning posts! (Hi, Son, if you see this.) )

But many years ago, when times were fatter, Mrs got me a pickup for Dad's Day, so that's amortized over a good many Dad's Days.

I just want to live long enough to spoil the grandkids.
