so what do you think of your dad?

I only met him once (not that long ago) and so my memories are not much more than a vague sense of "person who is my dad"

I think he's not bad or good or anything; he's kind of the "guy who likes to be an asshole who doesn't actually do much of anything and then gets all defensive and offended if you point this out" type. Also, he's a science journalist, so there are certain characteristics to him that are hard for me to let go of, namely that sort of style of writing/thinking/reading that I associate most with science journalists (e.g. his "I know this word, I am therefore the most enlightened and sophisticated reader of science journalism, also I will use every weird obscure scientific term possible" thing).

I do like and admire him, but, as above, it's hard not to get some sort of weird nostalgic feeling about the "classic" form of him -- sort of like the way I have a hard time letting go of classic rock, even though I like it. (I have other people I can talk about classic rock to if I need this particular nostalgia.)

If you don't need the nostalgia factor, then I can tell you what I actually thought of him and why he's a "guy I'd like to know but don't know much about."
