In honor of the old man's birthday, let us take a moment to reflect upon the fact that while I was deployed to Guantanamo Bay in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, he got sent to Iraq (he's home now). And while I have struggled to pursue a career in stand-up comedy, he had his picture taken with Robin Williams. In Iraq.
Some guys have all the luck. Except for that whole Iraq thing.
If you look real close, you can see he's holding up a picture of me...always the proud papa.
Happy birthday, dad!
