My Dad, still the coolest!

Sign in to disble this ad
Just got home from a 7-day trip with the folks.

Driving back from Michigan this morning, we stopped in Cumberland MD, to check out the C&O Canal Museum. It's not big, but more interesting than you'd think. Mules, ya gotta love 'em. And they have a great snack bar.

After lunch, we were walking back to the car. My dad, who's nearly 85, handed me the keys with the following words, out of the blue:

"Well, we've done 3 or 4 choruses and everybody's had a solo, so take us home!"

How cool is that?

Awesome! This thread turned out to be something entirely other than what I first thought the thread title read 'My Dad still in the closet'

Made me miss my Dad. Enjoy time with him. Ask him questions. I'm sure he has a lot of knowledge to pass on to you.
