The other day we were watching a re-run of “The Cosby Show.”  Rudy was wanting to borrow some money from her dad to buy her mother a necklace for her birthday.  Dr. Huxtable, in true comic Bill Cosby fashion, was questioning his daughter about this, wanting to know why she was planning an elaborate, expensive gift for her mother when the event was about six weeks away.  He points out that on his birthday, he always gets, “Oh sorry, Dad.  I forgot.”

Poor dads.  While the kids and I were laughing hysterically at the show, there is some truth in what he was saying.  Dads do sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to celebrations.

And so that’s why I’m posting this today, Thursday, June 18, 2009….THREE days before Fathers’ Day.  You still have time to get your cards in the mail (if you hurry!).  You still have time to plan something special.  You definitely still have time to call your dad.  Get off the computer and do it!

That’s what I have to do.  Get off of here and go mail the cards you see above.  I don’t really like the one I made for my dad (the one on the left….Big D’s dad is a pastor, so a poker card isn’t really right for him.  My dad is an ex-Marine/retired enlisted Navy guy.  Poker is perfect for him), but I’m sending it anyway.  Because FATHER’S DAY IS IN THREE DAYS!!!  GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
