dad's birthday

Today's date is November 29th, 2011.
That means that 48 years ago,
James Victor Olson was born.
(aka dad)
My father is your typical,
football-and-golf-loving man.
All of my greatest memories,
include him by my side.
His quick wit and hearty laugh at his own jokes
makes the whole room brighter.
He's stubborn, like all dads are,
but has that teddy-bear under layer that sneaks out
every so often.
Today being in the "Thanksgiving season",
I know he is one of the things I am most thankful for.
So for my dad
I wish
a mountain of Twizzlers and Diet Coke,
(his favorites)
