Thank you. And to all you Yankee fans out there, I hope you find out who your father is, so you can celebrate next year. Later

Had a great day, Saturday evening the missus took me shopping, you know you're a husband and father when that happens. Anyway I needed clothes for work , there were great sales and I am now supplied with enough pants,shirts ,socks and underwear for a few more years. Yesterday though was great, we went to Belmont Park , met with my sister and her hubby and about ten others. Had great fun in the picnic area , Lorcan loved it, loved going to watch the horses run, was fascinated with the bugle call guy. A drive that should take no more than 30 minutes ends up taking 90 because they close lanes on the Throggs Neck bridge for repairs , what a mess.

Sam Grossman is his name, he has an identical twin brother Irving. Sam & Irv were the two best trumpet players in school. MFY fans, but good guys, very funny, and extremely peculiar unto themselves -- playing whiffle ball with them was like entering a strange world.

We've been meaning to take Lunchie Jr. out to Belmont and watch the races some afternoon.

Lorcan was more interested in the tractors that came out after the race to fix the track .

BetterHalfer got me the rerelease of "Exile on Main Street" in hard-copy form. YoungerPooper got me a pair of picture books she "selected" (LWBH read aloud a list of titles recommended to her by her sister the schoolteacher, and showed LWYP pictures of the covers as BH read each title; those titles that got the biggest reaction, I ended up receiving). Raised by a single mom and surrounded by and large by women while growing up, I never really celebrated Father's Day as a kid. Most of the cousins I grew up around had either absentee Dads or Dads often-absent-by-circumstance (my uncle the Philippine Army colonel, e.g.), so it wasn't a big to-do in any of our family homes... and even less so once my grandfather died. It's nice to have a reason to celebrate, and not only because it gives me an excuse to screw around with my daughter for hours under the auspices of "quality time." (Less fun: accidentally clipping her thumb while nail-trimming in the morning, and juggling an anal-leakage situation in the supermarket line in the afternoon.)

I got a new trimmer/edger for the lawn, and a few nice Jets t-shirts. Also homemade stuff from Fboy (a decorative paper "tie" with his photo on it) and Fgirl (a handpainted tin can to use as a pen/pencil/candy organizer on my desk). That, plus a weekend full of quality family time, a trip to the beach, a nap with my daughter, and time off from parenting to run a quick 5k up the street. All in all a terrific Father's Day weekend.

Those are some great shots. The ones of the horses almost look like oil paintings.

Just seeing these-- they're gorgeous, dude, just like those supersaturated '60s SI and Sport shots.
