Happy Father’s Day

Jun 18, 2006

Happy Father’s Day to all those dads out there. Trinity, our daughter, says that her two dads are great and that she loves them both. (Before any fans get too excited, she means my ex-husband and my husband Jon. She does not have two live-in daddies.) Jon, my husband, is spending father’s day in a traditional style — puttering. He’s puttering in his office which makes it work, but it’s still puttering and that’s what he wanted to do with his day. Most men really enjoy puttering. Puttering makes me anxious. My ex-husband, is off with his new wife on a trip. Funny, Trin has two mothers and two fathers. I didn’t have any of either as a child. As you can imagine, Father’s Day was not a holiday that meant much to me as a little girl.
Jon is caught up on his legos and his bionicles, so what to buy him? We got him two new t-shirts. One Spiderman shirt to replace one that has died. I was very excited to find that one since it was one of his favorite shirts, which is why it wore out. The other shirt was a new favorite, the Boondocks (the cartoon not the movie). Trinity also found the new release of THE PRINCESS BRIDE, with new commentary and special features. It’s one of Jon’s all time favorite movies, so it was a good choice. The rest of his present was getting to do what he wanted to do today. Time to do what you want to do is always the most precious gift, don’t you think?
