On Friday at AMC my column was on Ten Fantasy Fathers Who Really Do Know Best. I ended by talking about the movie father figure who is most like my dad.
While neither from fantasy nor, technically, a father he’s enough like Dad that when I showed Rob the film for the first time, he boggled at the similarities.
What do I love about my Dad? He’s fun, he’s filled with curiosity, and makes things. I remember the first time I brought him something he couldn’t fix and I was dumbfounded. My tendency is still to think that he can make anything.
After the apocalypse, he’s totally the guy you want on your team.
Dad is great.
Your dad is one of my favorite people!
Indeed, your dad IS great… and until this very moment, looking at that picture of “Doc” I hadn’t realized all the similarities- DUH! the screenwriter clearly knew -d-!!
