My Father
I was very fortunate to have such a great father. My childhood wasn’t perfect, but I do know that I had all the love in the world. The early years were filled with fun and games with my dad. We watched our favorite shows together which taught me to have a love for fantasy and science fiction. I wasn’t overly into sports, like my dad was, but we still bet on games. When my team won, I got to go to Chuck E. Cheese and when his did, I had to give him a foot rub. Thankfully the vikings weren’t doing too good those years.

List Dad
My dad is a big fan of lists. He’s the kind of guy who researches the best method, weighs the pros and cons, and sticks to the recipe. He is not one to go about a task willy-nilly.

Me and My Dad
I was really glad to see Vocal put out a challenge to do with Father's Day. While it is a universal truth that women and mothers tend to shoulder the bulk of the caregiving, it's also important to acknowledge those Dads who do step up and take an active role in their children's lives.

Manly(ish)
Hand off your hat, Grab a beer, and Settle in. We’re off for a bumpy ride. It’s the MAN TRAIN. It may go off the rails. First off, let me note that, even without the obvious feathered embellishments and scarring ... I look absolutely nothing like the picture above. Well, I do have arms, legs, head, eyes.. and all the requisite anatomical parts that define the basic biological make up of the human male. All of which still function properly. 👍 That is almost where it ends. I am 60, a bit overweight, 5’6” tall, and no person’s definition of a … “hunk.” My beloved wife & soulmate, however, just said to me, “To me, you are my hunk.”

Stepdads Rock
My stepfather came into our lives in an unusual way. Like most stepdads, he married my mom, that much is obvious, but the way it came about and the kind of dad he has been is something unique in its own right.
