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!

Aww, I love hearing details like this about other people's families. The shaving cream story is SO CUTE. Happy Birthday to the BigLug 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*
