And the winner is...
Friday, March 31, 2006
Honestly, I don't think that anyone really had a chance to take the prize from this person. Others may have thought they were clever or witty, but any post by this person would have taken the cake. And in all fairness, I do believe that this person's post was the best, I'm not choosing him because he's my dad.
And here is your recognition...(everyone raise your drinks...)
Here's to a man who has consistently shown me the way; who has shown me the value of hard work, and what it means to love one's wife more than one's own self. Here' to a man who has always been there, who has always provided, always encouraged. He may have yelled a little too loud at sporting events, but that's how you knew that he loved you. Since I can remember, he has been a rock in my life, someone that I can turn to for advice, for guidance, and to tell me what to do and calm me down after an accident. He quitely goes about his business, not needing recognition, but he's getting it now. Thank you for the way you have shown your love to me throughout my life, and most importantly, thank you for showing me what it means for my father, whether it be my heavenly or earthly one, to care for me and want the best for me. I am unashamed that to say that I love you. And if I turn out just like you, it will be a life well lived...
...and based on this picture, I think I might turn out to look exactly like you since the only way that I can tell that is you in the picture instead of me is that I have never looked quite so distinguished.
Dad, thanks again for a great weekend. Please come again soon.

Analogy Time
Tuesday, March 14, 2006
If anyone out there reads my blog (and I'm sure its probably about 3 people), here's a little activity for you. Take a look at this picture of me and my dad (I'm sorry that the picture is not so great. I had to brighten it up manually because the lighting was poor.). The person who can come up with the best analogy wins a prize and recognition on my blog! Woah! That's big time.
