My Dad Has Been Leading A Double Life


Apparently my Dad has been leading a double life come to find out. While he is not working as the General Manager of Freightliner Arizona or at home with my Mom and Brother he has been moonlighting as the head coach for the Green Bay Packers and has been keeping it a secret from all of us. While Ryan and I were out to dinner with our friend Jared he asked me if my Dad got mistaken for any one famous. I told him no and he said that he thought my Dad looked like the Green Bay Packers head coach. As he was pulling up a picture on his phone I was trying to think of what courteous response I would give when I looked at the picture and it looked nothing like my Dad. Jared has only seen him twice in somewhat brief circumstances. When he showed me the picture above I just about died and my only response was, "That's my Dad". The funniest thing about all this is that for years when we lived in Granite Bay and Craig played football at Granite Bay High-School my Dad wore the High-School hats and shirts all the time, which look just like the Green Bay logo. It bugged him all the time when he was out and about because people would always think he was a Green Bay fan and would want to talk to him about it, or they would shout out "Go Green Bay" when they would walk by.



I am going to try to find a better picture of my Dad because I know my Mom has to have one of him in his Granite Bay clothes at one of the boys games. So for now this badly photoshopped picture of my parents on vacation will have to do (sorry Mom).



That same night I called home and had Mark look up the same picture on line and he thought it was ridiculous. He told my Dad to come in and "meet himself" and my Dad thought for a quick second that it was himself at a Granite Bay game. So needless to say we have a Halloween costume idea for my Dad this year.

WOW! That totally looks like your Dad! When I first saw that picture and before I started reading, I thought it was him! Crazy! I guess it's true what they say....everyone has a twin!
