The Double-Infinity Birthday

My Dad turned 88 recently. I told him he turned double infinity. 

He laughed in that belly-shaking way and said, 

"Double infinity standing up."

My Dad is a guy from the Bronx, a Communist, a World War II vet, a scientist, a jazz photographer, an attorney, and a man who deeply loves his family. And despite many hip and back surgeries, he prides himself on continuing to literally and figuratively stand up — for himself, for us, and for what's right.
