The day my dad did commentary for Dancing With the Stars

Tonight's Dancing With the Stars commentary brought to you by...

My Dad

"I mean.....that dance was like....amazing!"

Props to Derek and Nicole for evoking emotion from my father while dancing was on the television. 

This reaction has only ever been duplicated on family picture day as evidenced in this picture

Usually it's just the blank stare or the classic sigh followed by eye-roll combination.  Occasionally he'll leave the room "to go grab his glasses" and we don't see him for 2 hours when he saunters out of his room with a book in hand and NCIS blasting from the room.


We love you Pops.

a move review...in 2 sentences

my dad being the the father of 3 girls has learned a thing or two about what makes them happy.  namely (in no particular order) chocolate, diet coke, edward cullen.  So he made sure that when "New Moon" was released on DVD- he promptly brought it home.  He sat down and watched the last 45 minutes with us.  Here was his professional review of the film.

"Edward is like the Adam Lambert of the vampire kind"

and the even more profound

"You can totally tell a chick wrote this"

I claimed he was being sexist because men have written love stories before (ever heard of Nicholas Sparks?) and how did he know it would be different.  He retorted "because if a guy wrote this book- instead of Bella whining at Jacob not to kill Edward and Jacob listening...Jacob would have ripped her throat out and then killed Edward".
And there you have it folks.  He's such a romantic.  (notice how he did get all their names right...I'm just sayin)
