Early.... as tomorrow I'm spending it off the air and hanging with my youngest son. Happy Fathers Day to all that have been there for their children. Hope you spend time with them in some way on another!

Happy day to all the Dads and Sons.
I consider myself lucky and get to spend the day with my 2 and 4 year old boys. And of course my 4 month old girl and my wife.2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A -
My 4 yr old just said..."Dad, what are you listening to?"
I said, "Bob Dylan."
He said, "Bob Dylan...that's the guy's name?"
I said, "Yep"
He said, "I like Bob Dylan."
Then he said, "Will you play Angry Birds with me?"
I said, "Yep"

This will be the last Father's Day with both my boys - my oldest is off to college this Fall.
So, it is transition time for our family. Just finished with the last lunches to be made for both boys, Thursday was High School Graduation....time has flown - now it is time for the oldest to fly!
Mixed emotions about now - but life is about growth and change.
I will enjoy tomorrow with the family - I get to grill up a great meal, everyone will be home for the day, so I'll be stashing away those memories.
Happy Father's Day to everyone!

Happy Father's day to you as well!!! And all the dads out there!
I too, will spend the day with my 2yr old son.... cooking out and my wife bringing me cold beers, while the polk's are playing some good tunes!!
Cheers to all the dads!!tophatjohnny wrote: »Early.... as tomorrow I'm spending it off the air and hanging with my youngest son. Happy Fathers Day to all that have been there for their children. Hope you spend time with them in some way on another!

To all you dads, Happy Fathers Day! My baby girl graduated HS today. Bittersweet joy. For those of you with little ones, cherish each moment, they grow up so fast...

Happy Fathers Day to all. Im going to spend it with my daughter maybe go for a Mbike ride down to the Islands & have a bite to eat. Just spending time with her makes my day..

My youngest daughter just finished her 3rd year teaching and come home to spend the weekend with me. We cooked fish, shrimp and corn on the grill last night and are going to lunch and a movie today.
Life has been hard for my wife and I the past couple years but it's times like this that make me appreciate it anyway. Grace drove 3 hours to be here with me this weekend. Just wish my other daughter could be here too but work precludes it for her. -
Got to spend my first Fathers Day listening to music holding my baby, about to fire up the grill and jump in the pool. I can get used to this! Hope everyone out there is having a great day too!

Next year for me! You should be proud of her!
No celebrations for me. My wife is out of town, son in Chicago, and my daughter is buckling down for a tough Pre-Calc. Final Exam.
Dad may buy himself a pizza go outside and look at the part of the lawn no one can see (inside the fence) that he will NOT be mowing today!! I've been feeding a fat groundhog for the last week in there.
Happy Father's Day guys!

He moved there last summer. I haven't been out to see his new place yet and I don't know Chicago that well. My wife has been there. All I know is that he's close to the end of the subway line and that you can also catch public transport to Northwestern U. where his girlfriend is a Grad Student. It's supposed to be a reasonably nice area? May get there late summer? Not sure yet.

Well, ring me up if you make it out this way. Maybe we can meet somewhere and occupy a few barstools for an hour or so. Just so you know, if your son needs anything, feel free to give me a yell. Sometimes it's tough being so far away.HT SYSTEM-

With 2 sons in their 30's and 3 grandkids I can only say the Father Day get togethers only get better and better, and the memories are cherished as much or more as we grow older..... -
Today is the day I live in fear of some child I have never seen before, and didn't know existed, knocking on my door and handing me a gift.
