Well, since it looks like I won’t be able to see my dad on Father’s Day (he’ll be 85 this year, I’m an essential worker, so we chat on the phone) I have ordered a six pack of [Tortuga Rum Cakes](https://tortugarumcakes.com/) be sent to him for Father’s Day. Ivylad is getting the same gift. How are you celebrating Father’s Day from afar? ---

No baseball with my sons on Father’s Day this year. That’s sad, but the fact that our Nationals are world champs makes it a little easier to take. ---

If I’m able to maintain my own quarantine that long, I’ll just visit him in person. If not then a video call and a present left on his doorstep will have to do. In either case his gift will be a gift card. Don’t look at me like that; it’s all he’ll tell me he wants. ---

I usually take flowers to my Daddy’s grave. Can’t do it this year unless things get more stable. The kids are all here. Not sure what they have planned for Mr.Wrekker. I might need to ask. ---

Get him an extra-wide tie that can double as a face mask. 🙂 ---
