Today is Father's Day. I'm a father. I'm taking the rest of the day off.

I owe my buddy LT a response, and he'll get it. Everyone else: you'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday at earliest. Maybe later.

Take it easy, and if you can, call your dad. If you can't, call your kids, or your closest thing to a dad or a kid.

Moms are great. They really are. But dads are too frequently overlooked, taken for granted, or just not respected for who they are and what they've done.

Not this Dad, mind you. But too many of 'em.

Peace out.
