For context:
1) My Dad somehow chose a Facebook setting that emails him every one of his friends’ status updates.
2) He responds to these updates by email.
3) This is Simon Doonan: simondoonan.net

That’s so sweet to love your dad like that:) Makes me think about where did I put mine.. <- joking of course. haha.
If monogrammed Goyard crotches did exist, Simon Doonan would be the first to have one.
Love this! yes, it is politeness that keeps him in the game. He must think your hubby is a bit tweaked!
Small world I just saw an article on SD’s new Shelter Island digs, you can share with your dad!

love love love this… Simon Doonan is a legend. Now so your father. Hysterical!
My dad is already pretty legendary. Have you seen his Daily Show appearance? Scroll to bottom of this:

This just made my day. Seriously.
Mine too.
Crotch is the new clutch. Your dad is cool.
It is. I have a few holiday crotches, but need a more summery crotch for this season.
Laura~your dad sounds charming. Like he’s somewhere between the art of letter writing and modern times. It makes me think this is how my dear dad would handle Facebook if he were still with us. Wishing your dad an awesome Fathers Day.
Yes, Jean – he handles Facebook in a very “Dad” way. I’ll relay your wishes in case he can’t “log on” to my blog.
D.S. sighting, Goyard + fluorescent. Sounds pretty hip to me;)
It was a “hipsters only” elevator. My husband’s no slouch himself.
Your Dad seems to fall into the older person’s syndrome of thinking that people are actually communicating with him, personally, and that politeness requires a response. (As opposed to, say, people advertising their presence online…)
and speaking of self promotion, what’s with your commenters plugging adverts for their own blogs? I thought this was about your Dad. How rude!
(I guess I’m revealing my own, uh, age demographic.)
thanks for the sweet post.
Hey Linda,
The blog links are generated automatically by the Commentluv plugin. And they’re totally welcome. If my readers like someone’s comment, they might want to check out the commenter’s blog. Wins all around. Now, just leaving a link and no comment is another story. That’s called spam.
So adorable! And hilarious.
Right? I knew you’d appreciate it.
Okay, I also love that you left his aol email uncovered. I didn’t even think they were in business anymore… Classic
Yes, I thought that was a key piece of information! Just completes the picture.
Amazing! Now I love your dad too!
He’s lovable. But you should know, he has a Bronx accent. Not a Scottish one, like your dad.
Well I read it as crutch too the first time and I have no idea who Simon is
YES!! I’ve never met your dad but I love him!
This pretty much sums him up!
