Emails From My Dad

My dad is a BIG fan of mass chain emails. 

A small sampling of his emails to me include:

FW: Best Comeback Lines of the Year

FW: Why I Don't Feel Stupid Anymore

FW: Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

You get the point. 

It's like how I used to be, in the 1990s, when chain emails were the hottest thing, and breaking the chain meant your true love would fall in love with your most hated enemy and that all your worst nightmares would come true and that you would die at the stroke of midnight via your greatest fear.

Luckily, my dad's chain emails don't usually contain these threats. 

In fact, the latest one he sent, titled, FW: Absolutely Amazing Pictures, was actually, well, amazing. 

Shanghai, China: 1990 vs. 2010

Look at all that change!

USA and Mexico border - Current Day

Left side: San Diego, California; Right side: Tijuana, Mexico

(Is it incredibly embarrassing that I thought it was the opposite when I first saw the photo?)

Speaking of borders, here is the edge of earth - Bunda Cliffs of Australia (whoa!)

Just looking at these photos makes me want to get out and travel! 

What are your plans for the weekend?

Don't forget - it's Mother's Day this Sunday! Do something nice for your mama! 

P.S. This photo, titled 'Aww Yeah Flowers!' was also included in the email - much more indicative of the usual content I get from my dad.
