Today is my father’s sixty-third birthday. He’s diabetic, but I managed to get some sugar-free chocolate muffins which stood in for cake, and my mother gave him some presents. He’s difficult to buy for, but he enjoyed HBO’s recent The Pacific miniseries, so I bought him the companion book and With the Old Breed, one of the two books the series was based on. Now I just need to figure out what to buy him for Father’s Day.
Happy birthday, Fred’s dad!
