No blog update today 'cause I'm surprising Rachel...


... with a secret (till we get to the airport) trip to NY to see "Legally Blonde The Musical" with a friend of hers.

The things we do for our children.

I've been listening to Rachel play and replay the DVR'ed video of the
"Legally Blonde" Broadway musical for the better part of six months
now. It sets my teeth on edge and blurs my vision with a red haze.
My hands involuntarily clench into fists and with effort I stifle a
scream.

But I love my daughter and she loves this show, so with the help of
her friend's dad (who will be joining us, and whose idea this was), I
will take her to New York today, and we will see the show tomorrow,
and I will try not to pull out an Uzi and mow everyone down.

I am a good good father.

Happy Father's Day to me.

Kinda late for Father's Day, yeah, but I just discovered your blog. I just thought it deserved a comment. I knew parents who hated stuff their kids liked and would move mountains to share the experience with them.

You ARE a great father. Mine did this a lot when I was a kid, and it's the stuff that remains in your heart as the years pass. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
