Cool Dad Moment

Coming from a family without a consistent dad in my childhood, I like to highlight "cool dad moments" here.

Yesterday my wife dragged me to a taping of American Idol and we stood outside in line for 2 hours before they let us in to the studio. Next to us in line was a father and his 13 year-old daughter. As we talked with them about American Idol, who they think should win, and how amazing Ryan Seacrest is (I had no part in this conversation), we came to learn that they are from San Francisco.

They got tickets to AI on Friday, booked a flight, and flew down Tuesday morning for the taping. After the show, flew back. That is a cool dad.
