Happy Birthday
Yesterday was my dad's birthday - He turned 64. He has no idea I have this blog and probably doesn't know what a blog is as he was never computer savvy.

Here are some facts about my dad:
- Sometimes if his beer is a little warm, he'll put ice in it
- He was in the Navy for a while until he was the last living male relative in his immediate family and they honorably discharged him.
- He's retired, he was a machinist at a shop that built giant induction furnaces for many years.
- He likes to watch golf, play video games sometimes, and play with my nephew.
- He has smoked Salem menthol lights for years. He started smoking when he was 11.
- He is funny and makes fun of all of us. He coined the term "biglug" as nicknames for me and my sister.
- He is not very talkative.
- He had a once-a-month poker game when I was growing up. My mom went into labor during one of these games.
- He loves to go to the casinos in Atlantic City with my mom. He plays the video poker machines.
- I sit exactly like he does when I eat dinner infront of the TV
- He can grow very green grass and very large tomatoes.
- When I was little, I used to watch him shave. He'd put shaving cream on my face and let me "shave" with a comb.

Happy Birthday to my Dad!

How cute is that shaving thing with your dad?!
And it's funny that you wished him a Happy Birthday on your blog even though he probably doesn't know it exists. My dad (unfortunately) found out about my blog shortly after his birthday and seemed upset that I didn't wish him a Happy Birthday on there. *sigh*
