Fathers Day

It is Sunday morning at 8:00 and I am lounging in bed in anticipation of a home cooked breakfast courtesy of my boys.  I can smell pancakes and hear the rustling of pans downstairs.  Later I plan to travel down to Mass to visit with my Dad although I have no interest in doing so; I do it more out of a sense of a son's obligation.

I will arrive and we will perform the expected hug and backslap ritual but I will feel nothing emotionally.  We will chat about his boat and the trips he is planning this year but I could care less. I will just want to be on my way back home.
