51. I have to go with reminds me of Dad too. So I like it.

He was a WWII Vet. He was a life-long, retired steel-worker, who'd lost part of his hand to machinery.

He'd been a hell-raiser. His never set crooked nose attested to that. He was secretly a softy. I knew that by the time I was three. Even though others quavered at his voice.

He was a Pittsurgh Pirates and Steelers Fan, and died at 84 the same day 3 Rivers Stadium was imploded. Feb 11, 2001.

He already despised Bush before that early date. In a way I'm glad he never witnessed what befell this country after 9/11/01 It would have broken his heart.

He wore Old Spice. So I like the smell. But it stirs nostalgia, not romance.
