Best Fathers’ Day
My Fathers’ Day gift rocks. It’s not a new power tool, it’s not a nifty new deck chair, it’s not a new techno gadget. My apologies to both Wall St. and Bay St., but my gift has nothing to do with a consumer good at all.
This Fathers’ Day, I am a man of simple pleasures and the best of all is that I’m surrounded by those who are the most important to me. My wife is home, recharging from visiting her mother in the hospital, this is the weekend that coincides with my kids coming to stay with me. Everyone is in the house at the same time and I get to enjoy their company. What’s better than that?
All too soon there will be a time when such junctions will become increasingly difficult to arrange. For now I enjoy them for what they are, a little piece of heaven, if only for a moment.

This is such a moving post, Ric. Happy Father’s Day. Hope you have more days like this to follow.
Fantastic man, you have a great day.
Though I DID get the power tools as a gift, I too was able to enjoy a day surrounded by loving family. It’s the most wonderful gift of all. Thanks for writing such a great post…you say it for all of us.
Tammi - I hope so too. They are the nicest days I have.
Pep - and I hope your day was brilliant too!
Tim - No problem, and now I know where to go to borrow tools!
Of course, I had to check out what the best father’s day gift was…and you sound just like my husband. Do you know your Myers Briggs type?
