my father has run away from home.

well, maybe not. but it seems like he is a small child that runs away to camp out in the back yard. apparently he's been sick recently and my step-mother told him to go rest in "the boys' room" (the room where we normally stay while visiting). now he has taken to calling it his room and goes in there daily to sleep and watch dvd's. this seems like odd behavior for a man of 55 years. maybe not odd, but humorous really. the man makes me laugh i suppose. he always has, and he did not disappoint this time.
