Daddy was a loser too.

Skyler,

I know exactly how you feel up in Huntsville. I can really empathize. When I was in your shoes I studied a lot, played basketball, ran around the track, and felt sorry for my loser self. I didn’t have a girlfriend, a car, nothing. I was just a loser. But, I did know how to type and so I typed a lot, shot a lot of baskets with another loser friend of mine, and stayed in great shape. So, that was good.

My suggestion to you: find a tennis racket or the swimming pool and put some of that energy into exercise. I know that you will love it once you get into a routine. (It’s always good to drop of few unneeded lbs.) I should know; I have plenty of them and I can still exercise at 61!

Love, Your Loving Daddy

re: the pants

  • Dad: under the sink against the wall.
  • those didn't just "fall" off the sink when someone was handwashing.
  • Me: hahahahahaah
  • OMG
  • wooow
  • did you see anyone walking around with just a button down shirt on?
  • pantsless?
  • Dad: not yet.
  • hiding in my office so i don't see that person.
  • Dad: imagine seeing that out of the corner of your eye.
  • Me: LOL that is truly baffling
  • Dad: if they were in the middle of the floor, in a stall, lying on the sink, i'd possibly understand...but kicked against the wall
  • ...that's a puzzler.
  • Me: i just crack up thinking of the many scenarios that led to that point
  • i can't stop laughing
  • Dad: crack up or get scared.
  • Me: personally i'm horrified
  • Dad: imagine that guy explaining to his wife that he lost his pants at work.
  • or having an afternoon meeting after working out.
  • Me: HAHAHAHAHAH
  • 'honey, i need a new pair of dockers. don't ask questions.'
  • Dad: LOL!
  • "how was class, dear?"
  • "good. lost my dockers, nothing out of the ordinary."

E-mail from Dad:

It’s the men’s room—public.  On the first floor of my building.  Against the wall, under the sink, with a belt.  Who among you has disrobed and left necessary clothing in a public restroom?  On second thought, don’t answer that.  I really don’t want to know.

  • Me: HAHAH it is this passion fruit welch’s juice [redacted] left here and tito’s vodka. i wanted to get wine but the rapist put the kaibosh on that.
  • Dad: That’s why rapists are bad all around.

you know what they say when you assume...

  • Me: Did you get a chance to listen to Drake yet?
  • Dad: No, I've been listening to the Fisk Jubilee singers.
  • Me: What even is that? Sounds like homos in bowties.
  • Dad: It's from the 1870s.
  • Me: Well they had homos in bowties in the 1870s.
  • Dad: More like ex-slaves in bowties.
  • Me: Oh.

dr. conrad murray, part 4

  • Dad: but, as for doc murray...any medical professional who has such a low ethical barrier as to administer propofol (sp) to an individual in his home as a sleep aid has to be pond scum at best
  • Me: exactly
  • Me: and not even take the proper precautions. b/c apparently you're supposed to have an oximeter and an ekg on the patient
  • Dad: and the patient should be
  • Dad: UNDERGOING SURGERY!
  • Me: LOL
  • Me: IN A HOSPITAL
  • Dad: yeah. that little detail.
