It's Coming: Graduation '09

This conversation actually occurred between my family and I via e-mail.

MARIA:

It's time...

... to choose Commencement Weekend events before tickets run out.

Please visit the link describing various activities. Discuss and let me know.
(My votes are for the Senior Champagne Reception and the Riverboat Cruise.)

Hit me back yo.

STEVE:

Yeah good calls, mom wont like most of those (the ones you didn't pick).

The only other potential I can see is the: Celebration '09

Note: I'm setting my priorities based on the fact that I will be 21 for this event.

P.S - Did you read all the notes for the Riverboat Cruise?  You might not be able to get on.
"This event is not [metally] handicapped accessible."

DAD:

I vote the same as you.

MOM:

I agree!!! YO!!!

From the mailbox: Why my dad rocks.

I received the following message from my dad:

By the way, you can say it with meaning "My dad's picking me up".

I will be there, just give me 14 hours.

For condiments, you can sprinkle in "my brother Steve, the Adam's-apple-crusher, or my other brother Joe, the tooth-re arranger-but-I'm-not-an-Orthodontist", or both of them may be coming too.

Have fun.

(Thanks for always being someone I can rely on!)

From the mailbox: Dad Approval Factor

Sometimes, I am lucky enough to get e-mails from readers. I received this e-mail from a certain father of mine:

That has such a negative connotation, as in I disapprove of everything, it is just a matter of degree to which I disapprove.

Why can't you use the inverse, and much better sounding, Dad Approval Factor? It sounds so much more positive, and from a numbers perspective, it is exactly the same.

Come on, use some of those expansive (or did I mean expensive?) PR skills.

For example, "Choke", disapproval factor = 93%, or "Choke" approval factor = 7%. Same result (although I am guessing my approval factor would probably be closer to zero).

Remember, math is your friend!

Hopefully this post's Dad Approval Factor is above 50%.



Keep 'em coming, folks.
