Title: Happy Father's Day
Post by: schild on June 19, 2005, 12:41:03 AM
I know a number of the guys out there are Dads. Good luck on the one day of the year you can demand things from your wife without severe repercussion.

It's your day, make it last.  :-D

As for myself, I don't get to see my grandpa this year, but I'm taking my dad (and by extension, my mom) to a tasty restaurant outside of DC. Fancy seafood for all involved. :-)

My mom destroyed my dad in court this past Friday for being a douche.

Happy Father's Day, indeed.

Sigh. I spent today with 4 generations of Arndt men. My Grandfather, the preacher; my dad, the recent widower; my (26-going-on-18-year old) brother, father of 2 month old; and Tristan, my sweet baby nephew. Hey, guess what? I just found out that my 20-year old sister-in-law is smoking cigarettes, drinking and smoking pot while she's nursing (as well as my brother)! Awesome, huh? "We don't do it around the baby, so don't judge us," their witty retort to my appallment. "Fine," I say, "but when he's still not talking at age three don't look surprised."

But I did cook a fine pork tenderloin with mango glaze and pan-roasted herbed baby Yukon golds for them, so my job is done.

Oh, happy daddy day, y'all.

I absolutely sympathise, Lily.  I've stopped smoking, Righ stopped, my sister stopped... the only person who hasn't stopped is my nephew who has asthma.  My sister actually stopped to support HIS efforts!  He did tell me he hasn't 'smoked the pot' for almost two weeks, though.  Big deal.  I'd rather see him smoke the pot than the cigarettes.  Kids!

Anyway... after I called Hallmark to wish them a Happy Father's Day and the best of luck with the rest of their made up holidays... I played CoH the rest of the day.  I will, however, buy my father a Hot Dog Cooker for his birthday in July.  We share a love of really weird kitchen appliances.

Don't laugh.  I have one.  They work great.

Hey, this being my first Father's Day as a father, I will take this as another shameless opportunity to post a picture of my baby boy!

Oh my god!!  Look at the tiny little chair!  HOW CUTE!

The baby is adorable, too.

Haha, that baby is a cute little fatty!

Good job.


(It's not often you get to call someone a fatty and mean it, but not as an insult.)

Hey, I'm OK with any holiday that gets me more power tools :)

Father's Day saw me get to sleep until 1000 or 1100.  I think.  I've had a rough week.  Or two.

I would post pics of my boy but that is hard.  Homer sleep now.
