Yeah!

Nice one. I lost my father when I was a kid. Fathers day never really meant much to me until 2004 when my daughter was born. Now I get PRESENTS.

About presents... I was thinking of getting a new cell phone. But then I thought... $100 for what, something that will be novel for a week?

Today I was surprised with a nice picture & frame for my desk at work, and a card my son wrote me. He's 7mos old and writing, can you believe it? They start younger and younger...

Not sure yet. It's kind of a downer at my house right now, so I need something to cheer him up.

Tomorrow my dad, brother, and I are going golfing at the little par-3 course just up the road. None of us are very good, but it is always fun.

My dad has been a big Beatles fan since way back then, so I picked up a picture book that detailed the history of The Beatles at Barnes & Noble.

My dad is 84 and just finished treatment for prostate cancer. I sent him a card and a nice arrangement of flowers to brighten up the house.
