W00T!

Dad's been gone just over 9 months now, but he still cracks me up sometimes.

Last night, I finished what I understood were the requirements for Stage 3 of the knife-throwing program I'm doing and sent in the video. Sadly, I was told that I had misinterpreted one aspect of the requirements, and would have to re-do it. (Mind you, at least 3 other people made the same "misinterpretation" that I did.
But I digress...)

So today at lunch, I went out and did a few practice throws, then in less than 5 minutes I had my new video with their interpretation of the requirements.

And as that last knife went home, I distinctly heard my father's voice in the back of my head: "Well, I guess you fucking well showed THEM, didn't you, boy?"

Thanks, Dad. :-)

And on that note... onward, to Stage 4!

Once you told me, *I* could hear him!

[draconis]

I know, right??? And I'll bet you can even see the expression on his face, too!

Dads are awesome, aren't they? Mine still talks to me too. :D

[draconis]

Yes, the good ones definitely are -- I'm glad yours is still around for you. :-)

Thank you! You guys stay safe and take care of each other up there, okay?

I never met your father, but this sounds exactly like the man you've spoken about, and I am giggling.

I'm glad! He'd have been happy to know he made my friend smile, just by being himself.
