The very first moment I saw Violet, moments from the womb, there on her face was a tiny perfect quivering copy of my dad's lower lip. And here it is again in photographic evidence.

As further tribute to Fred Castle, I powered up the Porsche to drive through the (admittedly laughable amount of) snow to work today. Well, I had it out of the garage warming up. Then I heard a Portlander slide into a curb, hard, down the block. And I put the Porsche back. Because it would be very bad Fredmas-juju to let my halo car get uglied up by coastal morons. Especially ones who have no idea what they're doing in slippery weather, do so anyway, and mis-judge every aspect of it. And there's a perfectly fun AWD manual Subaru Legacy GT to play with instead.

Anyway, happy theoretical 67th birthday, dad. Been thinking about you, and told tall tales about you to the kids today.
