My dad is a man of few words, but when he speaks you know he must really mean it. He has worked hard his entire life and instilled that same work ethic into 4 daughters. He is a self-proclaimed comedian with a sense of humor that would make many cringe, but makes me laugh. He is a fan of almost every type of reality show on television and will make sure that you know that. He is also a fan of every sport, including NASCAR (because it IS a sport...) and isn't bothered by the fact that he doesn't really have a strong loyalty to any team. We joke that during football season he wear a Chargers hat, Vikings jersey, and Titans socks. He loves his beer and prefers the regular kinds, "not that fancy crap you drink." He's not much of a dancer, but "Shout" is his theme song complete with a dance routine. Lately he's been pretty interested in the home shopping networks.
Because my dad didn't have any sons, I was his fishing buddy. Now I'm his sports buddy (and drinking and swearing buddy. Makes mom real proud). And today we will watch a golf tournament together. Because that's all it takes to make him happy.
What a great post and tribute to your dad. It's always great to see the fun attributes we inherit from our parents. Have a great father's day with your dad.
