ah, Dad....

Dad has forgotten all about tofu and Christmas crackers—asks what they are, says he's never seen anything like that before. He's also forgotten Darth Vader and Narnia. When I get old, I wonder what I'll forget and remember.

Also, he recently introduced Loopy as....my husband! Of course, that's probably the clearest introduction he's managed since we got together....he never did know what to call her.

One time on the phone he said, "How is that husb—er—that—that—monkey of yours?" So at least he didn't introduce her as my monkey.

Tomorrow is his 90th birthday & at the last minute (two weeks ago) Mom decided to throw an enormous party. Much ado. But I think it's going to be fun. Speeches, a slide show, balloons, all kinds of stuff. Fingers crossed......
