Happy Birthday

Hey Party people, it's been a long time. And when I say 'Party people', I mean 'Communist Party' people. Why? Well because it's their birthday! What!? You didn't know that October 1 is 国庆节？ Well now you know. Onto another topic: dads. Do you remember when you were young, you'd compare your dad to your friend's dad. "My dad drives a truck!" "Oh yeah!? My dad can fart silently and make it really smell!" So here's one that brings this post altogether: My dad is as old as China. I know, I know. You might be skeptical but check this (and wikipedia it). I wrote Dad to wish him a happy birthday. Here's a transcript: Hi Avery, Thank you We just got back from dinner for my BD. I was born on the same date the Communist China established a state. Oct 1, 1949. I am 62 now Dad Yeah, when I was around five or six, when I would mess up something or not take care of something my dad would try to emphasize that I should take care of it because it was older than me. I was really impressed. But as I got to about 10 I realized that the whole world was pretty much older than me. Happy Birthday Dad!
