I want to say Happy Father's Day to all you dads reading. My own father, certainly. And my brother. And my brothers-in-law. And the other fathers out there.
Two songs that I've always thought summed up a father's feelings really well. One from a father to a son, one from a father to a daughter. Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us," and Paul Simon's "Father and Daughter."
You thought birthdays mattered more to me now?
Happy father's day, all you dads.
Thanks, Bob. Happy Father's Day to you too. I don't care a whole lot about the specific day, but I love being a father.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my favorite media-father: definitely Calvin's father in "Calvin and Hobbes". I've always wanted to mess up my kid in just that way.
ReplyDeleteThe world used to be all black and white, you see, that's why the old movies were in black and white. The old color paintings? Well, those were by artists, and everyone knows that artists are insane.
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI thought you of all people would like Calvin's dad explaining scientific concepts to him:
