Happy Father's Day!

    Never thought that at 48 I'd be a father to a boisterous 4.5 year old. She keeps me on my toes.

    Happy Father's Day to all fathers out there, young and old!

    Thanks and same to you! As the dad of a 24-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son, I have much to be thankful for.

    "Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call
    him father."
    --Lydia M. Child

    Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a
    dad.
    --Unknown

    "There's something like a line of gold thread running through
    a man's words when he talks to his daughter. And gradually
    over the years, it gets to be long enough for you to pick up
    in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love
    itself."
    --John Gregory Brown

    Ask him to give you a list of a few options that he would like you to choose from. That way, you can still surprise him yet get him something that he wants.

    I took a look at the link and while I did not find anything that I would like to receive, I do have a comment: as a father, I would not want my kids spending more than $50 on any gift for me. In fact, $25.00 would be better. Some of the items on that list were way too expensive for Father's Day gifts, in my opinion.

    Has it really been almost a year since I started this thread? Time flies. This year we're planing to take it easy. A trip to the Mall at Millenia will do it.

    Yes, time flies. I am also hoping for a quiet Father's Day. No fuss, no muss. :)

    There hasn't been a Million *Dad* March -- yet. But if there were, what issues would they be concerned with?

    The Top 15 Issues at the Million Dad March

    15> Screw the V-Chip -- we want the No-Oprah-Chip!

    14> Not enough hot single chicks at the Million Dad March.

    13> Trigger locks for thermostats.

    12> Our Message to Congress: Keep that noise down up there!

    11> "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, if your mother says 'no' then the answer's 'no'! Hey Hey, Ho Ho..."

    10> Read our lips: no new ties!

    9> Nothing -- they'd all get lost on the way to DC and nobody would ask for directions.

    8> Fer Chrissake, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, how about making the first five questions a little tougher?

    7> Recognition of "Pull My Finger" as an Olympic event.

    6> Demand an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Bob Seger from America's Funniest Videos.

    5> [This entry is blank because 248,315 of the participants followed through on their threats to "turn the car around and go right back home."]

    4> Mandatory background checks on guys with tattoos dating your daughter.

    3> You'll take the remote control when you pry it from my drunk, unwashed hand.

    2> Getting a free pass for your OWN youthful indiscretions.

    and the Number 1 Issue at the Million Dad March...

    1> Hell no, we won't go! ...buy tampons, that is.

    The best thing in life that can happen to a man is to be a father. You can't explain it with words, you should feel it. It's amazing!
