Makes Me Think - Today at a Japanese steakhouse, my dad and I saw a young couple celebrating their first wedding anniversary. The husband was wearing his Army Rangers uniform, and to thank him for his sacrifice, my dad surprised them by buying their meals. My dad is usually frugal, so he surprised me too. MMT

Just remember - being frugal has nothing to do with being generous. As strange as it sounds, they two are NOT exclusive. Your dad sounds like a great guy.
