No days off for childless orphans then, they must work the hardware stores and the flowers shop!
I’m just joking, I’m honestly favorable to more holidays, a bit like in ancient times with all the holidays for each and every gods. We should celebrate more our culture(s)
I went to a show at MSG back in 2018 and forgot about my little keychain pocket knife I had on my keyring. They wouldn't let me take it in but held it in security until the show was over.
Problem was that I got drunk and forgot about it so I had to go back the next day and grab it. It was a $5 knife but I've had it since 2003 so I felt an obligation to go back for it!
Mine was also low key. We went out the night before to an Italian restaurant we've not tried before. It was pretty good but not quite as good as I had hoped based on reviews. My wife gave me a small selection of different jams she'd picked up. I'm a sucker for a tasty jam!
Took a 4-day weekend down in the states (Ocean Shores WA) then zoomed back on Sunday to attend a fathers day bbq in Vancouver. No gifts, but I'm itching to hit Home Depot and buy some unnecessary tools.
Nothing, really, and I can't complain. Kid is too young to know or care about fathers day, wife knows I'm not really into celebrating things like that.
Mine was excellent! I got my shop rewired to include an exterior outlet and double the light fixtures.
No more running cords through a partly open door or long extensions from the house.
No more squinting or having to wear a headlamp when measuring, marking, or following a line. Although I have to say, wearing a headlamp is pretty darn effective for some things even with the extra lighting.
Oh yeah, got a text from my son and acknowledgement from my wife. Which is about as much celebration as I can handle. 😀
It was alright I guess. Nothing really that special. We went to brunch at a restaurant I wanted to try. It was ok but overpriced. Our 15 year old has been letting her bad attitude get the best of her lately. She complained about where we went to eat and I ended up grounding her for acting up at the restaurant.
As my fathers day gift, I've been promised a date day with the wife and a tool shopping spree (on a budget) so I have that to look forward to.
I've never celebrated Father's Day (I had a shitty dad and it wasn't part of family tradition anyway). My kid's too young to know what's going on, but I did get a card from the daycare. It was more a day to treat myself a little, even if it was one of my weeks. So we went to the hardware store.
I'd like to make it more of a thing down the road but it'll probably have to be other family doing something nice for me. That's years away though.
Mine was good, went to a Nepali food festival for lunch which was cool because I've never had Nepali food before. Then went to the carnival that's in town for a few weeks. Took my 3 and a half year old son on his first Carnival ride and he loved it.
Went home after and barbecued shrimp skewers and corn on my new BBQ while having a gin and tonic.
Nice! Is there a particular gin you like? Hendricks is the go-to for my wife and I, but I recently found a Japanese gin made with yuzu that's pretty good.
I also like Hendricks. I'm more of a whisky drinker but I usually keep a few bottles of gin on hand. The ones I have right now are Hendricks neptunia(this is what I had on Father's Day), Hendricks lunar and nikka Japanese gin.
Woke up to some coffee in bed, and a nice card with a gift cert to a brewery tour, mouse pad with my daughter's on it, and a new shirt. Then downstairs for chicken and waffles for breakfast before heading out to the zoo. Had a blast there seeing the kids react to animals they had never seen before.
Then on the way home the older of the two got car sick but we managed and pushed through to dinner which was some hot pot and a nice bottle of red wine.
All in all a pretty fine day, maybe got a bit sunburnt however at the zoo.
I slept most of the day and then went to work. My daughter made me a card thats on the fridge and at some point in the future were going to watch the dnd movie
My weekend was booked up celebrating for my dad on Saturday and my wife's on Sunday, so no time for me, but I requested a lunch with my wife and kid on Friday so we went out and it was really great. Didn't really need more than that, but I was pretty dead by the end of the weekend.
Mine was rainy and gloomy. Our daycare lady has COVID, but my wife and I can't afford to miss work this week, so we unfortunately spent most of Father's Day driving my daughter two hours to stay with her grandparents. Not the greatest Father's Day for me, but no doubt a fantastic one for the grandfather.
She's been helping him paint the living room. Pretty good for a three-year-old.
Was staying at a cabin with my wife and kid. We went hiking. Was literally 5 foot into the hike... Wife fell and hurt her knee pretty bad because she landed on a large sharp rock. Went straight to urgent care for staples and stitches.... 😂 But she's tough and we actually took the kiddo to the lake and I got in the freezing cold water and swam because the kiddo insisted. Ate some Korean bulgogi style tacos for dinner and I got a Father's Day shirt.
