Friday July 2nd my wife and I plan to pull out of the driveway early in the morning to enjoy a well deserved rest.

I grew up without a dad, life was not bad but I imagine it could have been better. As today is fathers day I encourage each one of you to make a phone call or drive over and say Happy Father's Day to the man who helped raise you.
