    Thumbs up Father's Day

    To all of us dads at the Org. I used to work Sundays as part of my computer gig at Bear Stearns, so I never saw my family on Father's Day until recently. I complained to the Chinese guy who ran the local laundromat, and he yelled, "That's what fathers do! We WORK!"

    Here's the latest on the lemur brood, post 'em if you got 'em (yeah, I'm looking at you, Don Corleone, Divinus Arma, and all of you other dads lurking about the Org):

    What are the odds, Wakazashi !?!? I swear I didn't even know your daughter's name, forget about copying it. Cute though!

    Here's Allison Marie Corleone, with big sister Jillian Margaret watching over her:

    I only furrowed my brow for a second when I see your daughters announcement. I figured you didn't get the memo Anyways, its a good name, I considered naming her Darth Sidious originally but Ms. Waki insisted we name her after her aunt of the same name.

    BTW, this is a bad picture of them, I don't have many good ones of them together as it seems they have opposite polarity and this picture shows much of the relationship between the two.

    Here's a most excellent read for Dad's Day. You may even want to read passages aloud to your ungrateful family: Lamentations of the Father.

    On Screaming

    Do not scream; for it is as if you scream all the time. If you are given a plate on which two foods you do not wish to touch each other are touching each other, your voice rises up even to the ceiling, while you point to the offense with the finger of your right hand; but I say to you, scream not, only remonstrate gently with the server, that the server may correct the fault. Likewise if you receive a portion of fish from which every piece of herbal seasoning has not been scraped off, and the herbal seasoning is loathsome to you, and steeped in vileness, again I say, refrain from screaming. Though the vileness overwhelm you, and cause you a faint unto death, make not that sound from within your throat, neither cover your face, nor press your fingers to your nose. For even now I have made the fish as it should be; behold, I eat of it myself, yet do not die. [...]

    Complaints and Lamentations

    O my children, you are disobedient. For when I tell you what you must do, you argue and dispute hotly even to the littlest detail; and when I do not accede, you cry out, and hit and kick. Yes, and even sometimes do you spit, and shout "stupid-head" and other blasphemies, and hit and kick the wall and the molding thereof when you are sent to the corner. And though the law teaches that no one shall be sent to the corner for more minutes than he has years of age, yet I would leave you there all day, so mighty am I in anger. But upon being sent to the corner you ask straightaway, "Can I come out?" and I reply, "No, you may not come out." And again you ask, and again I give the same reply. But when you ask again a third time, then you may come out.

    Hear me, O my children, for the bills they kill me. I pay and pay again, even to the twelfth time in a year, and yet again they mount higher than before. For our health, that we may be covered, I give six hundred and twenty talents twelve times in a year; but even this covers not the fifteen hundred deductible for each member of the family within a calendar year. And yet for ordinary visits we still are not covered, nor for many medicines, nor for the teeth within our mouths. Guess not at what rage is in my mind, for surely you cannot know.

    For I will come to you at the first of the month and at the fifteenth of the month with the bills and a great whining and moan. And when the month of taxes comes, I will decry the wrong and unfairness of it, and mourn with wine and ashtrays, and rend my receipts. And you shall remember that I am that I am: before, after, and until you are twenty-one. Hear me then, and avoid me in my wrath, O children of me.

    A happy fathers day to all good fathers out there

    I can only hope to one day have such nice kids as you guys.

    I fear the small age gap would make our father son relationship unworkable..
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
