Back and Better than Before

I have been spending all my blogging energy on my dad's Caringbridge site for the last month. Now it is time to get back to business. Thank you Chad.02 for giving me a cyber kick in the butt (not as painful as a real kick in the butt but I am really speaking metaphorically.)

So, one of the all time most fantastic men I have had the privilege to know has left the building. And no I am not talking about Elvis. We never met. I am afraid that my mind will probably be filled with thoughts of him for quite some time, but there are other things to discuss. For example, my ex-sister in law totally budged me in line as we were being seated at my dad's funeral and my own kids ended up sitting in the second row while that harpy sat in front. Really nice huh? Well, I guess I can't expect much more from her given her "fabulous" manners while she and Sam were married. But really! At a funeral?

I also now have a new found respect for the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Minneapolis. At least the MICU (place where the really sick vet's go) gave the best care I have seen in a hospital. There cafeteria could use a little work but you can't have everything. I also had a little crush on my dad's critical care doc. He looks like a cuter, younger Tony Danza. I have always been a sucker for the Danza. He cried when Dad died. I didn't know docs did that in front of families. It just shows we are all human. He also really thought Dad was going to make it, but Dad had other plans. He always ran on his own schedule.

Well I said I had other things to talk about, but I guess I really only had one.

I miss my dad.
