Happy Father's day! What are you guys doing?

[deevergote]

My dad passed away almost 10 years ago, so it's been a while since Father's Day meant anything to me. I have a stepfather (well, my mom's fiance, but close enough) but I really don't do anything for him. It doesn't feel right, as he's not my father!

So, I have nothing but paperwork to do today. In remembrance of my dad, I made a Pandora Radio station with all his favorite music. He was a HUGE big band jazz fan, and gave me quite an appreciation for it. So I have a Pandora station with Maynard Ferguson (his favorite), Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Stan Getz, etc... all the great names I could think of! (plus Glenn Miller... which is more dance music than real powerful big band stuff... but I've always liked it!)



So what are you guys doing for your fathers? Or for those of you that ARE fathers, what are your kids doing for you?

sorry to hear about your father. just remember he's always in your heart. as far as my day going to pick up a H22 head from drummersteve car went down friday night, possible head problem not sure yet. after i pick up the head more then likely just relaxing in the house with the lil one and giving my father a call.

Hey Deev, I've never messed with Pandora (until just now actually). Funny because I love music. Anyway, do you have a dedicated 'channel'?

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday, and we're doing it again today. I guess my in-laws are pretty impressed with our last offspring.. haha. Andrea made fresh fish tacos (I ate WAY too much) and a strawberry tart. Today we're making a plethora of dishes, tamales, hopefully some posole, refried beans and sopapillas.

Just picked up my oldest boy from his mother's place, we may go see a movie or something.

My father left home when i was 5 yrs old. i saw him again when i was 10, and he died when i was 16.... I have a 12 year old daugher back in country who i haven't seen in 9 years.... we talk over the phone every week but is not the same... I guess to me this day doesn't mean that much!!!!

Nah, I have a ton of channels... I just find an artist I like, make a channel, and leave it at that. Andrew WK brings a really cool mix of stuff

And man... I'm hungry, and all that talk of food sounds amazing! Going to my mom's tonight for lobster.

Good deal! Sucks for the shop that gave you someone else's order, and sucks for the people who's order you ended up with... but whatever. They can't give it to anyone else once you have it anyway, so enjoy!

BBQ. Wash the Ford and Buick, watch a replay of Ferrari Challenge at Road Atlanta and qualifying of the British GP (yes, I know the race has already been run but that's what a DVR is for).
