My First Father's Day

I guess it was not really a big deal. I showed my brother the gym that I go to, I had a cookout with my family with a little swimming in between. I got a little sun and I will probably judge it better by tomorrow.

Overall though, I want to recognize fathers who are new to this holiday like myself. So, I guess there is another day we can get gifts. I have never been one for gifts ever (I don't like Christmas for this reason), but I am good at putting on the game face of being thankful. Everyone buys a gift for a reaction-- I know I do. I want nothing in return but a "you changed my day" face. That is worth the money.

I hope everyone had an alright day. I hope you gave a good reaction face to those that bought you something. I hope we can all pay it forward.

BTW-- yesterday I played the Hanson-Foss wedding at Lost Valley. I played a fiddle for a contra dance they wanted to have. The caller came with his own equipment, plenty of personality and charisma, and a good PA with some ingenuity. I was glad I could bring Scoot to play since I would have been in the company of strangers more or less. The band finished out with Michael Hanson on drums and his brother on guitar. We sounded good--- can we take it on the road?

I guess a contra dance or two can be in my future when the opportunity arises!
