How to tell a food writer from a retired guy

My dad retired yesterday. His new job is jazz arranger and player with Iris. Iris: “My new job is playing with him!” Today he called me on his new, recreational cell phone to report something funny he read on a sign outside a coffee place. Retired for one day and he is already stealing my shtick!

Oh, the answer to the title question is that the retired guy’s shirt is less stained. That’s the only difference.

    well, if one can’t escape turning into one’s parents, i reckon it’s nice when the trip isn’t too long or arduous.

    So now I assume he has a silly grin on his face all the time and a tendency to break into a skip when he’s walking down the street? That might be another tell.

    Yay Richard!
