Happy Birthday

My dad's birthday fell this week.  He would have been 70 years-old this year.  Wow.  I must be getting old. I thought about him on the day.  I just had such a busy week that it didn't really sink in until now.
I think I really really want to hang his whip on my green wall.  I just need to find a way to do that that doesn't look tacky.  I love that whip.  When I was a child I loved to take it outside and make it snap.  Mom always told me to stop as I was going to snap my ear and it would hurt.  I snapped my ear a lot and man did it sting.  But I liked hearing that whip snap more than I disliked having my ear stung so I kept doing it.  I tried to do it as an adult and just couldn't do it anymore.  I don't know if it is my snapping skills or the fact that there isn't much left on the end of the whip. Too funny.
