What’s in Your Backyard?
My dad just emailed me with a picture of the moose in their backyard.

My new boss saw this picture of Pop and me on my desk and said “Hey, how did you get Larry ‘Bud’ Melman to walk you down the aisle?”
Made me take a whole new look at my dad
– and Bud Melman.
Although, I’ve got to admit, I think my dad is a whole lot better looking.

I got to talk to Dad today – he’s back in the hospital again, but seems to be in good spirits. He joked about seeing if his wife would let him off the hook for going out to dinner tonight – which is when it dawned on me that today is their 36th wedding anniversary.
36 years – I think she’ll let him get away with it this time…
This past weekend I discovered that Mr. H had never seen the movie “Better off Dead.” This cult classic that most people of my generation (sub generation – should probably narrow it down to an ~8 year time span) can quote along with each line.
Suddenly I’m questioning all those times he nodded along with me as I spouted off some quote from the movie that had relevance to our life – an education was in order if he was to really get what I was getting at.
I went to my film archives (what a geek) to dig out the VHS tape, but didn’t find it until after we broke down and rented a copy.
How did he like it? Hmmm, he laughed at the appropriate places but I don’t think it will ever hold the same significance for him as it did for me.
A couple of months before the wedding my youngest brother, Steve, and my Dad had to sit him down and introduce him to The Blues Brothers.
his education continues…
