A Boy is Not a Man Until His Father Dies

Don't know where that saying comes from, but it certainly is cheery. I guess I see the point, though.

Father's Day. As my dad used to say, I don't know what the big deal is about Father's Day, as it seems a lot harder to keep from being a father than it is to be one.

It's tough to be a dad, expected, stereotypically, to provide for the family, and expected to be with the family, which often pull against each other. Still, I feel incredibly blessed to have two such great kids. I adore them so. We'll see if I feel the same way when they start driving...

Well, you can't pick your parents, they say, so I'm glad I got lucky with mine. Hope you did too.
