Oh, you like that sweater?
So it was my dad's birthday the other day, and it's pretty hard to shop for dads.
They always have everything they need.
So whenever his birthday comes around, I just give him flowers.
People think it's weird, but what else am I supposed to put on his grave?
All right, we're like, look, all right, he's dead, but at least now he's more emotionally available.
I think that's pretty cool.
You know, he used to run marathons when he was alive.
Now he can't run away when I want to talk about my feelings.
So it's pretty cool.
We scattered his ashes off of Queens Harbor in New York.
Not by choice, that's just where the plane exploded.
this beautiful ceremony.
And what's crazy is that it did happen.
It was a plane crash.
It happened two months after 9-11.
Isn't that crazy?
And so nobody gave a shit, basically, that a bunch of Dominicans just floated in Queens.
You know what I mean?
