Because it is Veterans’ Day, bloggers are giving shout-outs to the troops and veterans. I respect our men in uniform, past and present, but I’m mostly thinking about my Dad.
Today would have been his 84th birthday. Instead it is my second Dad’s-birthday without him. In the past year and a half he has missed my new apartment, my first real girlfriend and my move from law into comedy. It hurts a lot to think about all the things that we didn’t get to share.
So I leave it to the rest of you to think about the troops; my mind is busy. And if you want to give a second to my Dad on Veterans’ Day, reflect on the ship he served on during World War II.
