And the way he gazed into the distance as he flourished his signing pen. <br /><br />Ahh... dad's so cool. <br /><br />Thinking on it, I remember he also would leap into the room and stand defiantly as he went into character. And he did all this for me and my brother's entertainment. <br /><br />Now I kind of feel bad for stealing so much of his beer. <br /><br />CalebCalebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056314139651782511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456755389981750866.post-23588778101923683372011-03-15T18:35:37.569-04:002011-03-15T18:35:37.569-04:00@ dbs: Oh, I did.

Whe...Dreams are so 1950. Get with the times, man!<br /><br />When I was growing up my dad would come home and pretend to be "Contracting Man!" Who solved all the world's problems by obligating Federal dollars. <br /><br />In his falsetto voice he would yell "But does anyone have a pen?"<br /><br />Then in his hero voice he'd yell, "Stop, evildoer! I'll sign that contract!"<br /><br />Yeah, I grew up with that. <br /><br />CalebCalebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056314139651782511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456755389981750866.post-8785074057949951852011-03-13T13:22:59.741-04:002011-03-13T13:22:59.741-04:00No apologies necessary.
