He doesn't look 72, he looks a lot younger. Good for him!

That is awesome!

OP - if your dad drinks beer (or whisky, or wine...) I'll do you a deal: you nominate a charity of your choice (something easy to donate to from Australia), I'll donate US$10 to it - and provide proof - and you buy your old man a beer on behalf of a stranger from Australia, to say congratulations.

Sound good?

edit if your dad doesn't drink, I'll still donate the $10 to charity... on the proviso you give him a big, manly bear hug from a stranger in Australia.

Just let me know :)

second edit just tagging /u/CamaroNoir to make sure OP sees this.
