Happy Fathers Day
I would like to wish everyone a Happy Fathers Day. Hopefully you have a father or father figure in your life to share the day with or are one yourself. My day consisted of taking my daughter Peri to see “Up” (or at least one hour of it till she had had enough) and driving my family and parents up to Westchester in the rain to see my brothers’ family. I’ve been told on more than one occasion that Father’s Day is a good time to reflect on those male heroes in our life, and while driving up to Scarsdale in the rain is hardly heroic, I kind of like the concept of taking one day out of the year to elevate the status of fatherhood. Hero Status, yes. But how ’bout SUPERHERO STATUS!!!! (echo, echo, echo)
My old high school production teacher turned me on to this online superhero maker website www.cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory. I designed an incarnation for myself (believe me, this is the closest guy to myself I could come up with, minus the chiseled biceps and Louvre-statue abs) and showed it to my daughter. She said, “That’s great, Daddy, now make one of me!!!” Anyway, I like the suite I’m wearing and the length of my hair, but I’m still deciding on my super power. I know! Adding more hours to the day!
