Dads are Special People
Dads are special people
No home should be without,
For every family will agree
They're 'SO NICE TO HAVE ABOUT' -
They are a happy mixture
Of a 'SMALL BOY' and a 'MAN'
And they're very necessary
In every 'FAMILY PLAN'
Sometimes they're most demanding
And stern, and firm and tough
But underneath they're 'soft as silk'
For this is just a 'BLUFF'
But in any kind of trouble
Dad reaches out his hand.
And you can always count on him
To help and understand -
And while we do not praise Dad
as often as we should,
We love him and admire him,
And while that's understood,
It's only fair to emphasize
His importance and his worth -
For if there were no loving Dads
This would be a 'LOVELESS EARTH'.

Posting this tonight since it's likely to be noon before I can access the site tomorrow. Hope you all have a nice Fathers Day, from any which way you approach it. I'm so fortunate that my own father is still in my life, and my own son is about 6 weeks away from having his second child. Best wishes to you all.

Wow - I finally get to reply, Darren!
We'll go up to my sister's house in Whittier and probably watch some US Open Golf, maybe a bit of the Bbbbbbbbbbasket Bbbbbball contest, and share a meal.

Sounds like perfect Father's day activities to me.
I might go to my cousins for dinner, but I plan to do some work on my Ranger or wash the F150, we'll see how I feel.

Had a nice Fathers day. But something ain't right. My parents (retired) and my children (grown, but it's hard to tell), one grandchild, and the wife and I went out for breakfast. Guess who got to pay? I just don't know how they pull that off but they do.

Morning fellow SoCal comrades, and you carpetbaggers too. Somebody at IB finally got out of bed and flipped the switch on. Doesn't it seem like it just suddenly fixes itself?
Here is something to keep you occupied while you wait for FTE to wake up:

We wouldn't want to have to work during the down hours.
