El Kyoto... Happy Father's day to you too! The younger kids took Dad out to dinner and the oldest called from Chicago. Got some very funny cards....they all have great senses of humor. I watched Tom Brokaw last night narrating the show about Father's Day and the Great Generation. There were some wonderfully moving stories of kids (my age) finding out about their father's past in WWII some of whom died and others still living. It made me think of my Dad driving a 150ft boat fresh out of college in the Navy with combat experience in both the Mediterranean Sea and the South Pacific. These guys had to grow up fast, knew what it meant to watch out for eachother and had a deep sense of patriotism in the true sense...(not flag waving). It's been over a year since he died and it was great thinking about him again. Altair19

el padre, Father's Day was excellent. I heard my two sons get up early and there was a lot whispering going on with a low volume background noise of paper and safety scissors feverishly working. I figured they were just fooling around doing something they shouldn't be doing as usual. I fell back asleep for a few more minutes until they both came in to wake me up. My 5 year old and 4 year old made Father's Day cards for me. I really appreciated it but didn't really understand it until later that day when I heard my wife telling the story to my mother over the phone. That's when I found out that she didn't need to tell them to do it. It was something they completely thought of on their own. My wife was as surprised as I was. Each of them drew pictures. My 5 year old drew a picture of me and him holding hands on a sunny day. I really enjoyed viewing his interpretation of how he sees me. It was touching. The 4 year old had 100 Tic Tac Toe boards drawn all over the card with a bunch of letter that I found out translates to "I love you" when I run it through the Bable Fish, little-kid-scribble to english translator. Anyway, I asked him about the Tic Tac Toe boards. What do they mean? He answered that he likes it when I play that game with him whenever we go the restaurant and they give him those crayons and the paper place mat. Now he won't have to wait until we go out to the restaurant to play Tic Tac Toe. It was a great weekend. I'm glad you got see all three of your kids. That must have been a very special day for you. RE: Kyoto: I got a standard e-mail electronic reply saying that my message has been sent, etc. etc. way back when I originally sent it. I'm not sure he read it. Otherwise he would have worried more about his decision and would not have been afraid to commit to it. It must suck to have to listen to what ever those people in your pocket want you to do. It must suck not to have the brains and integrity to put forth some decisions that could be of benefit to our children's future. If there were problems with the treaty, then fix it. Don't just let this opportunity slip buy. It must suck to have to do whatever the oil companies want you to do. It must suck to be a puppet. Am I the only one who gets douche-chills every time he opens his mouth. I feel uncomfortable. I feel embarrassed. I still can't believe that the best this country could muster up was Gore and Bush... It's so frustrating. Puppets rule the world. -JimHensonsMiddleFinger
