It's 2:25 on 2:25 - My dad was born today in 1917. He liked Louis Armstrong, sports, target shooting, economics, philosophy, Planet of the Apes, drawing with pastels, good novels, The Who, Boston, The Alarm, The New Bomb Turks, Gene Krupa, Louis Belson, dogs, tea, classy women, and his family. He hated government and bureaucracy. He went sledding with me when he was in his seventies, and broke a rib, beat a knife-wielding robber into unconsciousness in VA when he was 67, and played hockey with my bro in his sixties. I think he's welcoming Nic Courtney to a good place right now.
The last words he ever said to me were, "Thanks for coming in, pal."
Like Ace Rimmer, all one can say about him is, "what a guy." :)
Happy Birthday, PHG.
From what you’ve said here as well as stuff you’ve said to me in the past, you seem to of had a lot of admiration for your father. I never knew my father & I hardly knew my mother, she funny enough committed suicide in the month of February.
Your dad liked the Alarm!
69 GUNS!
They were though a little to the left of the political spectrum, they were always doing benefit igs for the miners strike back in the 80s.

Hey, cat.
I didn't know about your mom.Sad.
Thanks for the thoughts, right back to ya, kimosabe.
And the Alarm? Yep. He dug a lot of cool stuff. Used to build his own stereo hifi components when the field was just starting.
I didn't know about your mom.Sad.
She did the deed with a shotgun & well it surprises some when I tell them about my mother that I'm pro gun rights etc.
Shit happens & if hadn't happened with a gun it might of well happened with a bottle of pills or a packof razor blades
Gard,
I think I know how old you are. If I'm right, that would make your Dad significantly older than the other Dads. What were the pluses and minuses to that situation? If I'm wrong about my speculation, I apologize.
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.

I see that your dad is co-author on Live Free or Die, I look forward to reading some of his stuff in there.
"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."
