Father's day

Today is Father's Day, the day to honor Jeff and what a great dad he is. Bailee's gift to him is brunch at The Packing House, our favorite restaurant. The brunch is great there, but a little expensive for Bailee if you ask me. And Bailee invites her boyfriend and her grandma as well as her brother and I as we take her dad out for a great meal.

The breakfast is great. We all stuff ourselves and when we're done we watch Bailee continue to eat and eat. No one knows where she puts it all. But we sure wish we had her metabolism. I felt bad leaving her with the bill, and I will probably offer her some cash before the day is done.

BJ got him the usual, a bottle of Ketel One, Jen and Matt came over with some new Harley duds, and he spent the day doing whatever he wanted. Today was dedicated to relaxing while watching the US Open on tv. I used to think watching golf was boring but after really watching, I've discovered that they cut away everything so all you have left is the shots of those golfers in the top 10. So it moves along pretty fast.

Today was especially entertaining as I watched one of the world's best golfers hit a ball less than a foot. Then later in the game, he hit another one 25 yards. I can do that! There were some really amazing putts made and some incredible shots from the tee. It made me want to go over to the range and hit a bucket of balls. So we're watching the top 10 of the day and it was incredible to see how quickly the leader board would change, the names swiftly moving up or down after each hole was complete. And at the end it got really exciting. I always thought that if you put together the words exciting and golf you would have an oxymoron. Not today. One golfer was on a steady path to success. Two others could have easily beat him. The first one just whittled away his chances with each stroke. The second guy did the same thing. It was like watching pinball as this top golfer hit the ball around. Crazy. And yes, exciting. Who would have thunk?

So the day ended as most Sundays do but this one was much more special, as special as the dad we honored today.
