Hey DaddiesFollow

Never knew my father, and my (second) step-father is a hick to whom i don't talk to, the joys of being a *******! I don't have to spend money on anybody today. Although my girlfriends birthday is the 25th and she wanted some equipment for her camera (she's big into photography) and some art history books, and a parakeet. But she's in Italy/Greece now for vacation, won't be back for another 2-3 days, this sucks.

Chicken t1tties (D cup size no less) on the grill, corn-on-the-cob, watermelon, and a cup of B&R German Chocolate Cake ice cream, followed by a high speed jaunt along a twisty on the cycles to Knights Ferry for a dip in an ice cold river.

Muy bueno!

All I have to say is RACK Father's day.

On a gorgeous Saturday evening we started by going to the drive-in and seeing a double feature; "Cars" followed by "The Shaggy Dog". Everyone ejoyed both films. Then after a decent sleep, I am awoken by my 4 kids coming in and jumping on the bed declaring "Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!", all vying for first position to give me their hand-made cards and gifts. After reading each card and opening each love-filled gift, came the breakfast in bed - bacon, eggs, hash-browns, coffee and OJ. We then setup camp in the back yard while the kids swam and I got to read the week end news paper while my wife went to the store to grab the last few things she needed for supper.

Supper was in a league of it's own. Fillet mignon, fresh garlic shrimp, bbq shrimp (all made at home) and tater salad. There would have been some lobster as well, but the store had sold out. To top off the evening, I got a massage and some attention from the Mrs once all the kids were tucked away.

A good day indeed.

I got my dad Kalifornia, Oldschool, The Cube, and the box set of Planet of the Apes.

That movie is awesome! It's a family favorite...

He never hugged me

Did you buy a house?

You don't deserve a medal for that, you deserve a 3some in some nice cool Jell-o for that. It was freaking beyond hot this weekend. Air-conditioning FTW!

Yes, because North Carolina is cooler.

Not all of them.

We had window air conditioners, which my parents never let us use.

To this day I have no idea why they were there.

I don't understand why anyone who lives south of canadia would WANT to live without central air...even if it's just used to pull humidity out of the house...

Because when we built this house it was either pay $15k for something we would use for maybe 6 weeks out of the entire year, or add more nifty things to the house, like an extra room and fireplace. We went with the room

I refuse to buy down there without central AC. Seeing as that doesnt look to be a problem, Im not too worried. But yes, if a house didnt have central AC, I wont consider buying it

I wanted to call my dad yesterday, but his room doesn't have a telephone and, according to my mom, "he's not speaking" which probably means they've reopened his trach.
