Don't even know his phone number, though I do email him from time to time. I'll probably get together with him for lunch soon...

My Pops is 2500 miles away. So no, I won't be spending any time with him today.

Moshquerade lives about two hours from my Pops. Say hi to my Dad for me will you Mosh? :D

One year after this picture was taken of him holding his first grandchild:

my dad died in May and my brother and wife had twins boys in July.
beyond suckage right there.

Eight more grandchildren followed that my father never got to see. :(
so far 3 more here besides the twins, and it's only been 3 years. : /

29C today: bloody scorching!!

WTF?

that's a pleasant temp, over 35'C is hot, and over 40'C is a really hot summers say here...

my car gets kinda almost overheating (doesn't boil but you have to leave the fan running for a couple of mins when you stop to fuel up or the coolant will overflow :p) with the AC full on at above 43'C...thats hot ;)

EDIT: i see you're a pom, so i understand you, that is hot for the UK :)

I woke up this morning and was the only one in the house. I guess my dad doesn't like me :p. Honestly, I have no idea where anyone is. Oh well. They'll be back sooner or later.
