Dad was not Very Bright

I realize this is not a nice thing to say, but if he had taken some time near the end of his life (as I am doing now) he would probably have come to the same conclusion.

His own father was not too bright, but everyone liked him. His mother, by contrast, was a tough businesswoman, but no one liked her.

The woman he married was like his mother, but she was even tougher and more religious.

One sign of intelligence is how well you take care of yourself - and I have to give my father low marks there.

He did impress people with his modest religious accomplishments, but I have never been impressed by these myself.

The church both he and his wife believed in, has slowly disappeared.
