Dad’s day definitely got short shrift around here. Not because anyone has anything against Hepcat. It’s just that Teen Spirit and OSFO know that Hepcat doesn’t think much of Hallmark holidays. Maybe they’re embarassed to pay too much attention to it. They know that the best way to celebrate it is to ignore it in Hepcat’s case.

OSFO did make Hepcat scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. She did NOT give him a card. Teen Spirit had a card but he never got around to signing it.  Hepcat appreciated OSFO’s tasty breakfast.

I managed to drum up some enthusiasm for the day. Got Hepcat a nice card and a small gift. But Hepcat seemed bent on ignoring it.

We did have a combo Father’s Day/June birthdays party at our house. My dad came and he appreciated the attention from Teen Spirit and OSFO who did have gifts for grandpa. I guess they know that he, unlike Hepcat, appreciates that sort of thing.

OSFO gave him a Chinese dragon painting painted by a guy at the Seventh Heaven street fair. She asked him to write "Grandpa" in calligraphy. She also gave him a sand bottle in the shape of a cat because he likes cats. Teen Spirit gave him a cool key ring with a horse on it (Granpa is a big horse racing guy).

It was Bro-in-law’s first Father’s Day. He’s been dad to Sonya since last August. Happy Father’s Day to you and many, many, many more to come.
