Happy Father's Day.

Like the President I also grew up without a father around. Which is why I take my role as Dad very seriously.

In fact for Father's Day today my daughter is expressing her love for me by allowing me to clean that stain out of the carpet in front of her bedroom door, rinse off her dishes because she overestimates the cleaning power of the dishwasher, and buy her dinner later on tonight because she is in between paychecks again.

She shouldn't have.

But you know I love her, and I love having her living with me.

Well, today at least.

  3. I could never understand why men wanted to father children and then disappear. The wild stallion outside does a better job.

    Happy Father's Day everyone.

    Happy Father's Day, Gryphen. It's easy to be a father, harder to be a dad.

    Happy Father's Day, Gryphen! I do so love hearing you speak about your daughter...the obvious pride in her accomplishments and her compassion and intelligence...it's great. We should all have a dad like you, Jesse.

    Happy Father's Day, Gryphen and all the IM men who've taken the time to mentor or make a difference in any child. I was lucky to have a great one and when I miss him a lot.
