Father's Day from both perspectives

It was a strange Father's Day. Since she's living in Florida now, for the first time (since she was born) The Girl wasn't here. She sent a gift and she called, which was great, but you know it wasn't the same.

The Boy got me a gift too, so he and I spent a good part of the day playing Brother's in Arms, Earned in Blood. Very cool game, if you like WWII First Person Shooters.

Mrs. Arkay and I were both a bit out of sorts all day. No appetite, no energy, no desire to do anyting. So even the traditional Father's Day dinner didn't happen. Normally we'd have boiled a pound of shrimp and grilled a couple steaks.

The really cool part of the day, TCM showed The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963, Glenn Ford and Shirly Jones). The last time Mrs. A and I watched that movie was 20 years ago on the night she went into labor with The Boy. We watched it while waiting for the contractions to reach two minutes apart.

Seems appropriate, doesn't it?
