Opps...forgot to ask how you spent your day...noticed SteveS had a wonderful one with his wife and sons...My husband, son and I went fishing at a lagoon in Carlsbad, CA. Son caught a perch? and a striped bass...both way to small to keep...hubby got a nibble, I got a sunburn...then went to a nice family bbq...great day!

thanks for noticing and for commenting, e-Chick ... yes, I did have a nice one ... had the oldest of my sons been able to be with us, it would've been perfect ... I was lucky enough that the other three were on hand though, and after our very first whole family cigar evening, it was a rare, but extremely pleasureable, bit of comraderie ...

I had a good day.First I cooked breakfast for everyone,typical Sunday(it's either that or I'd starve LOL).Then the 16 yr old took me to lunch and the movies.I wanted to see Scooby Doo but he said I was to old for kiddie movies(Huh???).So we saw Bad Company w/Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins instead.Not a bad movie if you think Chris Rock screaming like a little girl is funny.I gues he couldn't get Jackie to do another movie whith him.LOL....I liked it anyway.Tried to talk him in to sneaking into Scooby Doo afterwards but he wouldn't go for it.Damn,looks like I'll have to see it myself.

What would be your ultimate FD gift? I'm planning ahead for my dad for next year...He live's in Henderson, NV, just outside of Vegas...so I mailed him a card with a gift certificate to Stuart Anderson's in the amount of $75.00...I usually spend between $50 and $150 depending on what I come up with for a gift idea. It's tough to pick out something when he always says 'I have everything already'...I hate that! One year, I gave him a leather jacket, another year I decorated a pillow with all of the great memories from growing up with him like: walking hand in hand to get ice cream, certain vacations, him NOT killing my husband when he first met him (and I was only 14), being the best 'mom' and dad after my mom died, him being there for the birth of my kids, etc...He won't use the darned pillow 'cause he said it is too important to him. He put it in a case with his collectables. I know there aren't too many FD's left for him & I and I like to make the next one and his birthday this year special...any ideas? And he can't smoke anymore :(

speaking as a father to adult children, I must say that IMNSHO, you're already on the right track ... in one form or another, share your time with him ... the pillow idea was great and it obviously worked for him, but time, whether you take him somewhere special or go to his place and fix a favorite meal for him, is the best thing of all, I'd say. My fondest memories of both my mom and my dad now are of the time we were able to spend together as adults, particularly of the one-one-one time ...
