Mad has heroes. Not the (not-our-style) NBC fantasy TV variety, but people who improve the lives of mad. Sometimes these are people we know. Sometimes they’re people we’d like to know. Sometimes they’re people who unfortunately we can’t know because they’re no longer with us. Today, we think there’s no better way to introduce our tiny blog audience to the Hall of Fame than with two people who truly deserve it–Denise’s dad and brother.
As mentioned already, things back in San Francisco are less than organized. Mad is not going to go into great detail about the current state of the house in San Francisco, but I don’t think it would surprise anyone to learn that the house my grandmother and aunt lived in for over 64 years has quite a bit of stuff in it. Nor do we think it would surprise anyone to learn that mad does not share the same design aesthetic as Denise’s grandparents. Therefore, in addition to removing a lot of wallpaper (more on that in a future post), there are quite a few items to be sorted through and removed from the house.
Denise’s pops is in the process of doing that right now. He’s working hard to clear out the main floors of the house so mad can focus on removing all that wallpaper, scrubbing, painting, and other improvement tasks. This is a hard job, and he’s doing it mostly on his own (by his own choice) with occasional help from Denise’s brother. So today, we honor these two men by inducting them into the mad Hall of Fame.
Denise's Pops, Hall of Fame Inductee #1
Denise's Brother, Hall of Fame Inductee #2 (he's a little shy)
