tribute


the putz mission has been pretty much KLUTZYNESS , but i need to make a tribute to my dying dad.............would have been 89 on the 15th of April.....................born in poverty..........one room shack with a bath tub in one corner for a saturday bath for 4 boys and their father...........a large bed in another corner for the 4 boys and another bed for the father who often got one of the three boys.........a coal stove for heating and cooking........he later had a job cleaning the local movie house for a nickle and a free movie pass and played tennis with a racket he shared with his brothers.......now, he from the greatest generation, he is dying like all his buddies from the war.......a painful death because he has pnemonia and a bladder infection..........massive heart attack and stroke.........of course he is my hero......he got to the point in his life when he was pretty much perfect.......i will try to live my life from now on as if he were watching my every move and do grand things.....like feed my pets and my birds and go on grand walks with them.......................that is all i can say right now
