Dad’s Day

Taking dad out to breakfast or dinner? Or presenting him with that tie he won’t wear after today but will charish when ever he looks at it? After all, it came from you. While most of us may not chose the most appropriate gift for dad, today we do honor him for what he gives us on a daily basis.

My dad passed very early in my life so I did not get to know him as I would have liked. I know he cared for his family. That he was hard worker, trying to provide.

As a child I do have memory of him taking my brother and I up the street to the creamery (we lived in a small town in Pennsylvania) and enjoying some ice cream with him - he loved ice cream. But it wasn’t until our teenage and later years when we would have really come to know and enjoy him. Unfortunately that was not to be. Enjoy your dad on this Father’s Day.

When dad died, we had an uncle who tried to become a substitute dad for us. But that was not to be either as he passed sooner than he should have. For Larry and I this was a sort of double whammy. Yes we had other family as mom became the bread winner and did her best to provide for us. And Aunts and cousins and a grandfather, etc. But it was never to be the same as having a father.

So spend some time with your dad, get to know and enjoy him - as well as mom - on this his day but on all other days as well.

Happy Father’s Day,
Bob

Mom

I have not become what you might have wished for me. I have not used all that you have given me to become all I might be. And may never.

mother is feeling chilly. ~Ambrose Bierce

Be that as it may, I take some small pride in saying, “those who know me do so because they wish to, not because they have to”! And that is because of what you gave to me.

On Mother’s Day I have written a poem for you. In the interest of poetic economy and truth, I have succeeded in concentrating my deepest feelings
and beliefs into two perfectly crafted lines: You’re my mother,
I would have no other! ~Forest Houtenschil

I miss your smile!

Your son,
Bob

You Need A Good Web Host

Every one needs a good web host for their sites - no ifs, ands or buts!

I have been with my hosting provider for some two years now and I have to say they have provided me outstanding service - no, I am not a high dollar player with them. But let me tell you, there are some well known names who do host with them. Such as Mike Filsaime.

Communicating

A little different post today.

Tools for communicating come in all sizes and shapes, from written to spoken to visual. And one of the best tools is video, which can combine written, visual and spoken.

Videos offer a wide range of subject matter, from straight ‘reporting’, to family memories, to a great learning tool. I for one find it much easier to learn something when it’s visual, such as a video, and I can move through the subject backwards and forwards, as my learnig process dictates.
