Father's day

[mdlbear]

I spent much of the week wondering what to ask for as a Father's Day present. I don't really need much; the tendency in this family is to buy things when we need them rather than waiting for special occasions. All I really wanted was to be able to wish my Dad a happy Father's Day; he died in 1999.

So rather than asking for some stupid object to add to the household clutter, I decided somewhere around Thursday to do something with the kids. Spend Father's day being a father -- what a concept! It's complicated by the fact that the kids don't like museums much, which is one of my favorite family outings. But they still enjoy the zoo, so that's where we're going.

As soon as they wake up.
