He and my mom were going out for dinner with a couple of friends who just happened to be of African ancestry. They got to the restaurant and my dad asked for a table for four. The host looked at the black woman and said "and you're with him?' indicating the black man. Without missing a beat my dad said, "no, she's with me, she's my wife," and took her arm and walked out.puhpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841783726170563457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1149696007453130452006-06-07T11:00:00.000-05:002006-06-07T11:00:00.000-05:00Chuckling.

It wasn't anything I really thought about or planned, it just happened...<BR/><BR/>I have tears in my eyes fairly often anyway, listening to NPR as I do. The Senate debate this last few days has me swinging very rapidly between rage and tears...let alone the rest of what's going on in our world that "they" are too busy to talk about!<BR/><BR/>alanalanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013341654649926300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1149650923521736072006-06-06T22:28:00.000-05:002006-06-06T22:28:00.000-05:00Love it!!!
