go dad!

on the phone just now:

dad: did mom tell you i won the garden club of america award?
me: nope... what does that mean?
dad: it means i had to go to dinner at some fancy country club and wear a tuxedo a couple weeks ago
me: oh really -- i haven't seen you in a tux besides your wedding pictures... how does that work
dad: i look like a blond penguin, that's how it works... it makes me feel old

click here to see my dad, with his award, but not in a tux :-P
