October 27, 2014: revisiting Papa's age

During the work day, the way that my beloved and I tend to communicate is via instant message.  Google's Hangouts, which are integrated with their Voice service (so you can get IMs or texts on your computer, tablet or phone) makes this a lot easier when we're out and about and not at our computers.  I married a funny guy, which may be why we have such an amusing kid.

At the 4th of July, The Girl asked how old my dad is (he's about to turn 80 in January of 2015) and if he had been around to sign the Constitution. We'll see them in a few weeks at Disney World and we're going to spend at least one dinner celebrating his impending 80th birthday, since both of his kids and all his grand kids will be around (okay he's got 2 kids and we each have a kid, so it's a relatively small gathering).

N is my beloved, who likes to pass along The Girl's commentary on life when they're hanging out together.  Here's today's lunchtime IM (The Girl is with her dad at his shop today, as it's a teacher work day and there's no school).
