Hurricane Season
Hurricane season has gotten me thinking about my dad (I call him Bear) and how he is one of the most entertaining people that I know.
Bear writes long letters for bad news to mom and/or me and mails them, even if he's sitting across the table when they're read, because he doesn't like to make us sad or upset. My last letter was to let me know that I would need to get my brakes worked on. Mom has gotten letters to let her know she hadn't withheld enough for her annual taxes. But the most delightful thing he's sent in awhile was a card last fall. On the news he had heard that Tropical Storm Lisa was due to be upgraded to a hurricane by the end of the week, so he hurried himself down to Hallmark in order to congratulate me properly and let me know how proud he was.
What a guy.

No wonder you are so cool. :)
My dad is a character, and a great person, much like yours. From your description, it sounds like they would get along nicely.
I find that upppity moms + character dads make for some pretty impressive daughters. :)
