as a number lover I think this birthday of my dad's is great
born in 46, he is 64 today.
ten random facts about my dad...
1. his favourite cookie is a haystack (mine too!)
2. he likes to listen to instrumentals (wipe out, music by Jesse Cook etc...)
3. everyone at bowling thinks that he is the dad to all of us (me, Krista, Kim and now Lisa) on the bowling team. We have given up trying to explain it after all these years. The funny things is that the girls on the team rotate a bit depending on who is having a child at any given time but that doesn't stop them from thinking dad has a LOT of daughters.
4. I have lost every sports bet I have made with him over the last 20 years.
5. we play March Madness Brackets together (and yes, I lose here as well)
6. as a family we play board games (you know where this is going, he beats me at Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, cards and the list goes on)
7. he's a cruiser, him and my mom are big fans of hitting the high seas
8. he has 4 grandchildren (1 girl, 3 boys) and one on the way. he has MANY other little ones that call him Grandpa Gord.
9. he has been mistaken as Santa by more than one little awestruck child.
10. not very a random fact, but still must be said, he is a great dad and a calming force. If you need solid, no nonsense advise, then he is your man.
happy birthday dad...and may I be the first one to wish you a happy birthday for next year (just beating my brother to the punch!)
