Things My Dad Is not Very Interested In, In Spite of The Fact That Every Christmas Gift Guide Aimed At Dads Seems To Think He Should Be

  1. Cars
  2. Baseball
  3. Beer
  4. Aviation
  5. Barbequing
  6. Hunting
  7. Ties/Cosby sweaters
I can't make a list of the things he IS interested in, because he reads my blog, and he will then know what direction my gift-buying is going. [I'll give you a hint, though: he likes 19th-century philosophers, club soda with lime, small desktop cannons that shoot elastics, chocolate-covered peanuts, looking up word origins, and appropriate reference books for looking up word origins. And actually, I think he probably is at least mildly interested in aviation. Hi, dad! I love you!]

Wow. I think your old man and my old man should get together and go bowling.

My dad is not very interested in bowling. :)

Mine neither. SEE! They're made for each other!

Hmm, yes. I see your point.
