Happy 60th birthday, Dad!

My crazy father turns 60 today (and mind you, he's a fairly young 60: what hair he has left is still mostly black, with enough grey to give him an older, wiser look). I've already surprised him with a mylar palm tree decoration (meant for cheezy luau parties, but since he loves palm trees, I thought I'd get it as a gag gift), which I surreptitiously hung up in our dining room before I had to jet out to run some errands: he utterly loves it, even popped some Beenie Baby monkeys on top of it! Just got his cake at the store, and since he was asking me if there was a book that the movie "Valkyrie" was based on, I'm surprising him with that. When I was out picking up my copy of Richelle Meade's "Succubus Heat", I also managed to find the DVD of the movie at a bargain price, but I think I'll save that for Father's Day.
