Father's Day

My dad comes from a family of five brothers, and all of them have the same laid-back personalities, quiet and enigmatic but with a wicked sense of humor. Getting a gift for him never fails to stump me - because he's so generous, he has very few interests that are his own. Whatever those around him enjoy, he enjoys. That's why he was always there to help out on my weird art projects, or whenever I had rented an obscure movie, he would stick around to watch it with me (even when he didn't understand many of them). Back in the third grade, I had invited him to school as my special guest for lunch. My classmates would say "Hey Matt, is that your Dad?" and I would say "Yeah!"

Anyway -- I just wanted to say thanks, Dad.
