A message on this Father's Day

This Father's Day I could take time to explain that a day of recognition isn't necessary. Every day of watching my son grow and develop into a young man that I am proud to call son is more than recognition enough. The fact that one day so very many people are going to be thankful for him, and all that he brings is more than enough than any father needs.

I could talk about how I get more than enough reward every single night when I get to lay down next to my beautiful wife. Knowing that every pain and every single bad thing that can happen in my day is taken care of by just a few moments in her loving arms solves all.

I could talk about how every trial is easy to handle due to the teachings of my own father. How he made me into the man that I am today, and how glad I am to be this man that he shaped.

I could talk about each and any of these things, and all would be true. But that's not what I want to discuss. What I want to discuss this Father's Day is beer. Beer is good. I like beer. That is all.

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Bag all that touchy-feely crap. Whadja get for Fathers Day?

I got a cool new digital kitchen scale that can go between English and metric, a Cuisinart hand blender and soem reallt neat ice cream scoops.

We went to Costco and my beloved thought I was going to buy myself a 60"LED TV. No way. We just finished major structural repairs to the front of my house, having four huge trees taken out and the rest trimmed, siding repairs in preparation for painting (which is where we found the structural damage) and a bunch of split rail fence repairs. Now we are going to have the front re-landscaped and tear off the solarium to replace it with a stick-built one.

Our disposable income is non-existent.

It's just another fake festivity made up by Hallmark and it's ilk.
Don't over complicate it.

Just got back from Mexico! Spent my fathers day traving.

Beer's good, but we're having a Montepulciano tonight with some Thai takeout. We would have cooked but got back too late
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
