I Hope It's Not Hereditary The Mostly True Stories of My Father, Bob Hartley

"Just as I was about to make a mad dash for the road, Dad came bounding out of the gas station. He tossed me an ice cream sandwich and took a swig out of a sixty-four-ounce cup of his favorite soda concoction: equal parts Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, and raspberry ice tea, with just a dash of hot coffee and maybe a squirt of Tabasco sauce. 'This is an adventure, Buddy!' Dad pronounced with a beaming smile. It was incredible how much he was enjoying all of this.
I have always operated under the assumption that my father has a disease. I'm sure there is a scientific word for it, but I just call it crazy. And, apparently, it's either contagious or hereditary, because the light in his eyes and the hop in his step sparked an excitement in me, as well. I caught the crazy."
