I had planned to write something about my dad on Fathers Day BUT our A/C was out for a couple of days and Father's Day was the worst! Needless to say I was grumpy Sunday night. My room was literally 85 degrees, and miserable. But that is all fixed now, and I awoke this morning under the much needed warmth of my comforter.
This is my dad, his name is Marc. Our relationship is unconventional at best. I hate to admit it but him and I are a lot alike. We're both too intelligent for our own good, have accumulated quite a bit of useless information, can't help but say most things with a sarcastic tone, are often incapable of giving a straight answer, enjoy pointing out the follies of others, and have a fondness for everything ridiculous.
We often spend our time together discussing current events/family matters/television etc. trying to outwit each other every step of the way. My dad is definitely a laugh. Other than computers he hasn't truly embraced technology (refuses to get a cell phone, doesn't use his e-mail) but he did start his own blog...on his door. It's more of a message board but my brother and I comment on his "posts" with post-its. It's rather hilarious because most of things he writes are nonsensical. On June 16 he wrote, "squiggly line...oh squiggly line." 
Sure he drives my brother and I nuts most of the time. He jokes around when we want him to be serious, has been known to embarrass us in public, does not believe in evolution (this is a huge argument topic between us), is a horrible driver, and can be very annoying when he's feeling playful (think 6 year old). But I can tell him anything, and he will listen free of judgement. He knows exactly what to say to make me feel better in every situation, and is my go to fix it guy. As much as I joke about trading him in for a newer model, I love him, and he's the best dad I could ask for.
