The Aerie
Well it's been a quiet Father's Day around here, seeing as two of the three that I'm fathering are off in Boston. They're touring Unitarian Universalist religious centers in Boston, so the kids swam in Walden Pond and shopped in Quincy Market. We got an e-mail from our daughter who assures us that all is well and they're having a fun time.
As for me, I didn't do too much today. This morning I received many nice gifts: two polo shirts, a four-pack of Guinness, a bar of dark chocolate, and a gift certificate to Uncle Hugo's. Then we walked over to the Birchwood Cafe for a tasty but frightfully expensive breakfast (modest meals, $50 price tag for three people?) It was bloody hot walking to and from the cafe, but it was good to get a little stroll in.
This afternoon I read a little, caught a nap, and played a little Oblivion (which game should win the coveted "Biggest Time Sink in the Universe" award). Later we went and saw the "Silver Surfer" movie - it was okay, nothing to write home about. I didn't remember enough from the prior movie to understand why Dr. Doom was in it or what Dr. Doom could do, so that didn't help. And, I'm sorry, but Jessica Alba does nothing for me.
This evening my daughter called from Boston to let us know she's having a nice time, and it was so nice to hear from her. It's really not the same around the house without those twins!
But now Father's Day is done, inasmuch as I have to focus on getting some stuff done for tomorrow. I am teaching an online security course, and I have to find stuff for our refinancing, and I should really send out some hello's to some consulting firms with whom I've worked in the past to let them know I'm available.
All in all a nice quiet Father's Day.
