I’d like to sleep as late as I want, then get up and have a lazy brunch.
Come to think of it, I’ll actually be getting that. My wife and I are going on a weekend getaway for our anniversary next weekend. The munchkins will be with my mom, so we’ll have two mornings of sleeping in!
So, since I’m getting sleep for my anniversary, I don’t know what I want for Fathers’ Day. Maybe a Tesla Roadster. Or a bottle of Lagavulin.
Last year, they cooked dinner, baked a cake, drew pictures, gave me hugs and kisses and told me I was the best father in the universe.
Leaving their obvious poor judgement aside, it won’t be long before they outgrow this stage. At that point, they can start to use MasterCard.
A one night stand with son’s smoking hot EX girlfriend. Two reasons it won’t happen is 1] they now run in differing circles and 2] I’m still married to mom and it IS my anniversary that weekend.
If the weather is decent, my oldest will fire up the grill. I work so it doesn’t become a big deal.
A 1967 MGB GT, racing green, in immaculate condition. If that’s not forthcoming, then I want a consumable or an experience. No material goods, please. I’m at the age where I’m seriously downsizing.
I’d like a pair of really nice titanium workbench shears for my tool box. (I promise I’ll retire the box cutters when I get them.)
I’d like for my brother to believe that the bundle of his favorite cigars that are on their way to him really did come from his daughters. The ones who always forget him.
I’d like to cook up some food for ‘the guys’ from a few of the recipes I saw on some ‘tasty’ videos on Facebook. ‘The guys’ like when I cook, which is always a plus.
I’d like peace on earth and good will from men; can’t hurt.
I’d like a nice night in someones backyard with friends with not too many bugs, not too many drinks, and way too many great conversations.
And… At the end of the night, I’d like to go to a peaceful sleep, with no worries that some idiot is going to screw up the world before I wake up.
