From Blushing Sailors to Barbra Streisand

What’s with your father??!!
I think your father is going through an extended mid-life crisis!

I married a guy who owned a bar and enjoyed breaking his knuckles on an unruly drunk’s head, rode a motorcycle and could make a sailor blush with his language.

OK, it was not all that strange when he started drinking smoothies for breakfast.

It was strange enough a couple of years ago though, when he asked for a CD of Strauss waltzes for Christmas.

Shortly thereafter he asked to see an online photo of the famous “Last Supper” painting (Thank you, “Da Vinci Code”!!).

Tonight he insisted I read the review in the NY Timies of Helen Gurley Brown’s bio

Guess what he is doing right now – Watching a Barbra Streisand concert!

Help! “I married a Martian!”

      Mom, just be thankful that his mid life crisis doesn’t involve trying to recapture his youth by bedding younger women. This doesn’t sound so bad.

      That’s my mom. I told her 1. he’s gay (actually, no way), and 2. It’s her turn to go drink, fight and ride a motorcycle.

      This would make a great comedy. Imagine what his old buddies would say. Too funny!
