Took my dad out shopping before he leaves town for a week. Anyway, his hearing is pretty bad now. He doesn't say much about his health (though I don't really ask why either), but he says he's got damaged nerves or something. Anyway, it got me to thinking about him at staff meetings or even at work. I can't imagine my father as anything but socially awkward, but he has a gentleness and kindness about him that I believe has allowed him to succeed in his career.

Or maybe I get my social skills from him and happens to actually be pro at social skills.

After all, he had to woo the crap outta my mom to get her.

Hmm....
