Hmm, maybe you're confused. Matthew is my bro. Dad is Bob.

Joseph is the greatest. When I have my biography written, I want him to play by play my life like this sports game.

Joe is indeed the greatest. Still, I think this post is cornfusin' people. Matt reported this all to me via iChat. I was just excited to hear my pop's still active and having fun.

Definitely confusing, but I am happy to hear that too. Awesome that he still has his jumper. I have NEVER had one of those.

Ah, I thought that since your Dad was a sports announcer, that "Dad" was referencing himself in the third person, thus, "Dad's Still Got It." and I skimmed over the "me" and "us." I don't know why my brain makes the wackiest connections, maybe it just likes things that are nonsensical. The image of someone's parent on IM tickled me so.
