My mom uses the old man emoji to symbolize my father. So, this means, “How are you? Your father and I are running errands,” in Momtext.

This goofball gave me 50% of my genes.

My dad “resting his eyes” in my messy apartment.

Dad and Isabel are super excited about technology (have you ever seen a cat actually roll its eyes before)?

“Hey! Stay away from my iPad.” (a.k.a. Craigslist car/boat searching machine)

We got some magic glasses that make the Christmas lights look like snowflakes! 

Isabel thinks Dad is her kitten. He does not appreciate her hair-grooming efforts.

Smiling gluttons. #postmealstruggles

Thinking of both my adorable grandpas, Luigi “Lou” Galella and William Francis Richardson “Dick” Schofer, this Veteran’s Day. During World War II, my grandpa Lou served in the South Pacific and my grandpa Dick was in Africa, where he contracted malaria but luckily recovered.

A generation later, my dad drew number 103 in the 1970 Vietnam draft lottery but luckily wasn’t drafted. He joined the National Guard for six years instead.

My dad has done Movember since 1976. Except he does it every month.
