Father's day

[mdlbear]

I'm sitting in the living room next to Colleen, but I'm oddly lonely and melancholy. My 40th college reunion was this weekend -- there was no way I could possibly have gone. One of my kids is nearly a thousand miles away, as are some of my closest friends.

And my Dad died a decade ago. This is one of the days in the year when I miss him most keenly.

OK. I know about that one, too; I'm one of those people who's most reluctant to call my friends when I'm in a bad mood, which is probably when I need it most.
