i hope you all had a great father's day

bill cosby wrote, “any man who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.” this advice (dated even by 1986 standards) from his book fatherhood, has always stuck with me. to this day, i still struggle trying to switch gears on my drive home {which more precisely translates to my walk from the car to the door}. my advice is to not take any work related calls right before you walk in the door. another piece of advice i’ll contribute (from a dad who is the only person in his household that pees standing up) is try to have everyone put the toilet seat down (and clean) when they're done – that way everyone starts in the same situation. teach by example… more importantly by repetition because we’re still working on it.

we all know that being the man of the house can be hard work. i don’t know about you, but i seem to be in charge of clogged plumbing, the trash, yard work and pet clean up. basically all of the sh_t jobs. so in the spirit of father’s day, i thought i would throw out a moty point for the best fatherly advice. whether it be how you get out of it or get it done quickly or easily; whatever works for you. if you’re thinking call a plumber, hire a gardener to come the day before the garbage truck and trade in the thirty pound blob cat with gastrointestinal problems for a pet rock - we are on the same page. if you say have a boy you’re too late.

my interpretation of mr. cosby’s words on father’s day ‘return from the beach, adirondack chair in the sun, get my own beer and do absolutely nothing’
