bob is bob spelled backwards

my dad is a pretty cool dude - really. as far as dad's go - he rocks.

image why my dad – whom i call bob (but he is still my real dad) – is a really cool dude:

  • He actually goes to see Green Day in concert
  • He drove me to my first Grateful Dead concert in San Francisco (I was 15) and let my friends and I party without intruding
  • He is the one who told me to put gum behind my ear (and then I fell asleep and got it tangled to the point that I had to cut it off)
