Finally got the package for Philly sent off today. Unfortunately it won’t arrive for Dad’s B-day which is actually today, but it will probably get there before Morgan’s. And we totally missed Tyler’s… oh well, 1 out of 3 ain’t bad, no matter what Meatloaf says (see song of the day, below).

Played some Wii baseball tonight, and unfortunately Dad’s Mii STILL can’t hit that outside curve. Luckily there are a lot of things he CAN do… and has done… for both Rich and I. He’s always been there for us, our families and kids and always seemed to be able to “make it work”. Whenever we had questions about directions, how to do “manly things” like install an appliance, wire a light fixture or fix the car, he’s always had the right answer — or at least offered good advice. One of my favorite memories of a project like this was when I was trying to install a light fixture and I took digital pix of it with my phone and then sent them to him for a diagnosis!

We’ve truly been blessed to have such a wonderful loving father, role model and friend.

Happy Birthday Dad!

And in a strange coincidence… the song of the day today was performed by Meat Loaf, also the name of one of Dad’s favorite dishes.  :-)

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad… a classic Meatloaf tune from Bat Outta Hell. Enjoy.
