I'm going to do what I did last year. I'm going to get up in the morning and call each of my four kids, youngest to the oldest, in order to alleviate their lingering guilty anticipation while waiting for the right moment which always leads up to calling me. I was a son enough years to know how this works. I am the best Dad ever!
We are all going for a BBQ and swim at my youngest daughter's place in the late afternoon. That is when I shall receive the royal attention I so duly deserve.
I hope the little sh*ts save me a drumstick.

I hate to hear that. Really.
Nothing surprises me more than the fact that all my kids love me and we all have a good relationship. Through the years leading to today, I though for sure at least one of them would go nuts and stay that way. There was a one in four chance. But as is, they love me. And who can blame them?
Throughout it all, and sometimes it was The Jerry Springer Show Uncut, there was never - not ever - one doubt in any of their minds that I didn't love them more than I love myself, and that I would not be there to show them how to pick up the pieces no matter what happened. Notice I didn't say "help them pick up the pieces".
My kids, who will all be at least 30 next April, are pretty remarkable people. And full of surprises. The one I thought would be in prison by now is a Suburban Squire with one marriage, two kids (one who will be 17 this years), two cars and a mortgage. The daughter I though we'd have to emotionally support forever just celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary, has two kids, will graduate from college in November, and we're going to her place today.
My other two, the ones I thought would breeze through life, are my only concern. They are both doing well, but I still wonder if they will ever find the right mates who make them happy. I worry they don't think too far ahead.
Life is complicated and wrinkled sometimes. Love irons it out.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there. We went to dinner yesterday for Mr Flame, and today we have a picnic/poolp arty thing we are doing.
Unfortunatley, I don't get to (nor have I ever been able to) celebrate with my dad. He died 2 1/2 months after I was born. We will be calling my FIL later, though. He's a great dad!

You sound like you're a cool father. Hope you had a good day. Happy Father's Day everybody.

Thank you. It was a nice day.
I ate a hamburger, baked beans, macaroni salad, drank three glasses of tea, and watched "Benjamin Button". It was a curious case.

Oh my goodness! You too? I don't like that movie much if at all, but my niece talked me into checking it out for everybody to watch. Did you like it?

Yeah, was it any good?
I rented Gran Torino last week. It was a superb, excellent movie.

It was watchable but I wasn't enchanted. I kept asking "Is Lt. Dan on that shrimp boat" and "Has the ship hit the iceberg yet?".
I thought the ultimate conclusion was just plain dumb.
