Night School....

Since her mom got sick and eventually passed away, evening phone calls with her dad have been a frequent occurence. They both looked forward to these calls and her dad loved to talk! Early on it was about mom, her deteriorating condition, their fears and tears, and how dad was doing. Lately the calls have been about people and history. It started with the St Valentine's day massacure and then moved on to people. Her dad was amazed how quickly she could find information on the internet. Not owning a computer and not familar at all with the wonderful world of the internet, he was like a kid in a candy store. She would read him stuff and sometimes print articles out and mail them to him. He has this buddy, and they were always talking history, politics, and anything else that came up. One night he called and was asking about a news anchor. With ease the daughter found what he was looking for and was giving him the information he was seeking. A few minutes later the phone rang again and it was him requesting another "google" search. His buddy had a name he wanted looked up. So the information was given and then the dad said he told people he had been going to "night school" and the teacher was his daughter...:) This made her laugh and smile. A+ Dad....A+
