CLICHES FOR FATHER'S DAY

Funny how events of this Father's Day week lend themselves to cliches about dads. You could say that fathers walk a tightrope (and get a  bad reception on TV). You could say fathers should save for a rainy day. Or they shouldn't be caught up in domestic traps. Or that they can feel all alone on a drifting raft of life. And on and on --- any cliches for your father today??

Other news around here --- we had to use a sheet of styrofoam to deflect some harsh sun from the pond, and a hula hoop to keep the floating plants together. Pat can't help but add more plants to the pond, and then put in 70 more plants on her experimental green roof. We put out our annual Free Pile and watch cars stop to scoop up old film cameras and broken wicker headboards etc. --- do you think anyone will take the grungy laundry tubs by dark tonight?!

Oh, I thought of some more. How about "dads have to keep shovelling when they're caught on a steaming pile"? Or dads might give you this bit of advice ---- it's a jungle out there!
