Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- A Catch

My Dad is one, apparently. The feelers are out. I knew this day would be coming, but I am still freaked out about it. He’s not ready, he says. Not now. Not yet. But he will be. He’s getting phone calls. And of course, a few overtures from ladies at church. I don’t think he’s …
