Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

My dad is better than your dad.  Unless you are my dad, then you're the best.  Love you lots.

The more proximally located son is probably making an appearance today.  I will have to wait until next month.  

Rambling on, here is a poem I accidentally found by an unknown author:

What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, 
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, 
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, 
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it.. Dad

That's pretty nice, huh?  I've got a couple of issues with it, though.  First, I don't know what the hell the comforting arm of night is.  Second, an eagle's flight may be graceful or majestic, but a grizzly bear is more powerful, don't you think?  Probably a rhyming limitation.

Anyways, happy Father's Day!
