June 19, 2007
I just noticed that when I posted this message on Sunday (Father's Day, no less) that I didn't actually post it, but instead I saved it as a draft, so I'm keeping the date of the original post.
Today is Father's Day, and I've got plans with Julie and Riley (AKA: the wife and the son).
But my own father died on June 17th, 2004. (That is three years ago today, but it was a Thursday that year.)
When he died I knew that, sooner or later, the anniversary of that date would fall on Father's Day and here it is. I'm trying not too get into too much of a funk about that.
So anyway, obviously my plans today do not include telephoning him to wish him a happy Father's Day.
Instead I will honor his memory today by briefly recommending a series of books that he highly recommended to me when I was a teenager: the Bounty Trilogy
It has been many years since I was a teenager, and I haven't read them since, but I recall that I did indeed enjoy them a great deal at the time. My memories of these books are strong enough and fond enough that I do not have any qualms about highly recommending them, even after all these years!
We miss you, Dad!
