evidently, my father no longer cares if you envy him.
You may have noticed that my dad likes to send me lovely pictures on Fridays, pictures that he has taken during his daily walks through his beachside community. They’re usually pretty gorgeous and envy-inducing. Like this:
Today? He sent this:
Did you get that? Wait, let me zoom in:
A memorial for this man’s pants will be held a week from Tuesday, at your optometrist’s office. BECAUSE I JUST BURNED OUT YOUR RETINAS.

Aw, come on Meg. So he’s a little tubby, cut the guy some slack.
August 18th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
See there you go again…making me laugh out loud!

Sheryl, honey, I LOVE a little extra man on my man (that sounded wrong.) I don’t take exception to the body. I take exception to the portion of his body SHOVED UNCEREMONIOUSLY INTO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TUBE SOCK.

Well. There’s a self confident man.
August 18th, 2006 at 2:06 pm
Your dad rules.

Mr Fowler. What the heck. Seriously.

I imagine that when he speaks his voice sounds like the morphed combination of Don Cherry and Homer Simpson.

You are very happy that you can regularly get gorgeous pictures from your dad and share them here. The splendid landscapes are appealing. As what others said: You dad is a self confident man.

It’s the thong/tube sock combined with the giant sneakers, topped off with a baseball/fishing hat, that does it for me. My glasses (if I had any) are (would be) steaming up!

BTW, my neighbor across the street is a similar looking man, and he mows his lawn in that exact outfit all the time. When he bends over at the waist to weed the lawn, we all run. Tube sock thongs hide nothing.

Yes, our dad IS self confident, but that photo is not OF him, but was rather taken BY him. He would never, ever, (I hope and pray to God) wear a suit like that in public or private.

Yikes!
