Mine was great. I got up a little after five in the morning and came in to
ROFF. Scanned some back posts and read about the W.W.II Memorial project.

Went to a few links, with photos of tired old soldiers and had a pint of Jim
Beam cracked open by ten-thirty....spent the day outside.

Around noon, the wife and little girl came out, gave me a card, said the
loved me and went back inside, Mercifully short and sweet, I thanked them
for that - but - I have been unable to get them to totally ignore me at
times like these, or birthdays, or Christmas....

Holidays, days of torture for the emotionally empty....

I hope all you Dad's have a happy Dad's Day, I'm taking
mom-in-law up north today where she'll visit relatives
until next Tuesday. Wednesday SWMBO leaves for Orlando
to attand the ALA annual conference. That means it's just
me and the hound dog on our own for 5 days and I'm going
to give myself a belated Father's Day fishing trip.

Me and Kipper the hound will take up residence at the
West Fork Sportsman's Club campground just outside Avalanche,
Wisconsin on Thursday the 24th and leave at o-dark-thirty on
Tuesday the 29th. Probably won't get in and get set up in
time to fish on Thursday, but plan to flog the streams with
fishing string Friday through Monday.

The guy I talked to said the streams are back in their banks
and the mosquitoes are out in force, so if you're in the
area bring your deet and stop on by.
