Happy First Father's Day!

This Sunday we celebrated Joe's first Father's Day. I tried hard to make it a special day, but the stars apparently weren't aligned properly to allow things to go as smoothly as I had hoped.

We started the morning with hole-in-the-toast and maple glazed bacon, with farm fresh eggs and fancy Whole Foods Black Forest Ham bacon. But the bacon never crisped up, so it was really like eating soggy bacon. Yum.

Then we decided to head to the North Beach Festival, but spent 20 minutes looking for parking to no avail. So we ended up walking around at Chrissy Field, which baby loved, so that was ok.

What did we get Joe? A fancy fillet knife from the Town Cutlery knife guy, and navy blue Jansport backpack, meant to replace his current ratty one that he's had since sophomore year in high school. The only souvenir left of his glory days.

But who needs a souvenir when you've got a little clone?!

My son's best qualities are those that he gets from his father: height, dashing good looks, a nicely shaped head, and remarkable intelligence. Oh, and they both can't live without me. That's kinda nice too.

On this Father's Day, I am so lucky to honor the best Daddy I could have ever married.
