i'm not sure who started saying it, possibly jim thornton (aka NASA.) but if you know my dad, you know two things: he's short. and he's fiesty. insert scrappy to replace fiesty for alliteration affects and you have the phrase "he may be short, but he sure is scrappy." my brother and i have been chanting it perodically since, oh, age eight.
well, shorty climbed through some shrubbery and clung to an inclined concrete wall to write me a message about the first day of school!! yay dad! how hilarious. how awesome!
our apartment is on the top floor of our apt building, and overlooks downtown. there's also a lovely bayou that is a) ugly but b) at least you're looking at trees and some sort of water instead of a warehouse. here's a view from last night...
and here's the sign. my dad took giant sidewalk chalk on friday and wrote "Go TFA. 1st day!" and then he wrote each of the three roommates college's and our initials. totally made my day!
