Father's Day

Wishing dads everywhere a very happy Father's Day, and thanking my own Dad for his love and support over the years.  He's far and away the manliest man I know, and he's the only person I have seen who makes even sewing look like a burly activity.

Lots of love and respect for you, Pops.  Thanks for taking it easy on me that one time in 7th grade when I accidentally killed the baby chicken that you had adopted as a pet for our family.

Dad on one of the road trips he made to Alaska in high school / college?

Dad sewing up some belt-looking thing, raising a child, and making Amish men everywhere feel slightly inadequate.  All at the same time.  With one hand.

Dad at an art show, plying his trade, rocking some fresh sandals.

Dad laughing at one of his own jokes (presumably).  Me, asleep on his lap, unaware that beards and chest hair could be contagious.
