Happy Fathers Day all!

Went to see Book of Mormon in Buffalo with the girls yesterday. Very funny show and really not that mean to the Mormons. Hipster kids were wearing ironic Mormon gear and Mormons were out front handing out tracts. We stopped at Duff's for the hot wings on the way home. Excellent wings, very saucy and med hot was ideal as you could still taste the chicken. A kid next to us ordered the suicide and ran to the bathroom after about 4. Anyway good times.

Happy Father's Day Griff. You have a lot to be proud of. I hope that beautiful house you built has lots of wall space for the avalanche of awards to come, formal and otherwise.

Happy Father's Day classicman. Your kids have a lot to be proud of. Goddammit, you kick so much ass as Dad, you bring a tear to *my* eye. PKA indeed.

Happy Father's Day footfootfoot. Spouse is a contract gig, but being a dad is a lifelong commitment, and you've got them both in the right perspective.

Happy Father's Day glatt. You're such a natural, gifted dad. Patient, involved, perceptive, active, smart. And most importantly, present.

Happy Father's Day lookout123. You have a handful there with your sons, but they are in good hands, truly.

Happy Father's Day Beest. I don't want to take anything away from the accomplishments of your kids, but you are clearly doing something (probably lots of somethings) right. See you on ESPN!

Happy Father's Day xoxoxoBruce, I don't know if you have kids or not, but I bet there's a line of kids wanting you to be their uncle.

Happy Father's Day TheMercenary. We have style differences in addition to our political differences but it's clear you love your kids--on that we agree.

Happy Father's Day jimhelm, you're a cool dad. Your kids know it, you know it, we know it; we're all cool with it. Right on, dad.

Happy Father's Day Elspode. By the standards of mere mortals, you've gone above and beyond. By your standards, just another day at the dad office. Nice work dad.

Happy Father's Day Pete Zicato. Zings! And I bet they do. You're a blessing to them and I'm sure they know it. I hope you know it too.

Happy Father's Day Lamplighter. Congratulations on successful dad-ing on successive generations. You've got staying power, I'll grant you that.

Happy Father's Day Kitsune, leading candidate for most blissed-out dad, when not sleep deprived. Babies are so cute!!

Happy Father's Day Big Sarge. Devoted, selfless, unconditionally-loving, relentless and resolute. You might be enlisted in the service, but you're a five star general as a dad.

Happy Father's Day chrisinhouston. We've heard the phrase "the camera loves you", but in your case, it's clear the camera is just focusing your love for your family, and lots of it.

Happy Father's Day Flint. Music, technology, intelligence and wit make a powerful mix; your kiddos? Blow their minds, don't blow them up. ps please don't be stony-faced at being listed "last", think of it more like bedrock on which the post is made.

Back at'cha, dawg. Makin' your list as a P. S. would still be an honour.

I mean, this is a list of living legends. I blush at even being included with these juggernauts of fatherhood. I'm just a hack!

Flint, you just have to take 'juggernaut of fatherhood' as your user name. For at least a week.

Sorry, I'm just Flint. My fictional action-hero, comic book character /slash/ porn star name is right there on the FDA % of daily allowances label.

Thanks big V. Your son is Pretty damn lucky himself. You're like the cool older brother and the unexpectedly hip father rolled into one.

I hope you had a wonderful Father's Day with your manchild.

Rock on

Sarge was away representing the good old US of A on Father's Day.
Not representing good old Fathers. And not by choice.

Addie's Mom contacted him at Camp Shelby for money for Addie to go to Princess Camp.
I thin she has a very different idea of what Princesses go through then the reality. Scrutiny? Negative press? Media obsession with every lb you gain or lose? Difficulty meeting a man who will be able to deal with the fact that you have the money and the intense media gaze and therefore you and your family have to wear the trousers?

Anyway.
Bear in mind Addie isn't allowed to call Sarge "Dad" any more as it complicates things in Mum's new life.
Okay, I only hear one side of it. But the side I hear is very sad.
And Sarge is tenacious. He's not given up on a child yet. Which is right and proper, but not always the way things work out when parents split.

It may be one side of the story but Sarge is our guy and Addie's mom comes off as a cruel user.

Unless it is an out-and-out lie, there is no "side" to this. It is wrong, no matter what the circumstances might be. It'll backfire on her anyway. This kind of stuff always does.

So what did everyone get for Father's Day? I went ahead and ordered the FitBit Flex for him after getting his approval, but it's backordered and won't be here for another month at least.
