Jack, you are a softy.

I think all men are softies beneath varying layers of thick skin. The cut and dried world of business, hard times, emotional hurt, "macho" expectations and other such hardening of the attitudes can make us feel odd when we are touched by emotion.

Sometimes I see an Olympic moment, a touching news story, disaster or even that McDonald's commercial a while back where the father is racing through a McDonalds so he can get to the hospital and see his new child, and I well up with emotion. Sounds silly huh? Well, it does to me too, and I often look around to see if anyone has noticed.

It is sad that being emotionally touched can make me feel awkward. I should be glad I can still feel life on that level.

Happy Father's Day Jack. I consider you a friend. I hope you have a wonderful day with your daughter...she sounds like a real gem.
