Father's Day gifts are hard to buy.
Dads are tough to buy for in the first place. They don't collect hundreds of knicknacks (junk) for the home that moms love.

In golf years, that means I'm about 1,000. I've taken so many swings I'm surprised I'm not a complete amputee.
My back aches every day. My tennis (golf) elbow starts burning about the third hole. Before every round… more »

Oh, how I dream of being Irish.
Not for the green beer, although that sounds fun.
It's not for the corn beef and cabbage, either, although I eat that tasty treat more than just once a year on St. Patrick's Day.

It's always fun to discover the "next big thing" before it actually explodes into the public spotlight.
The problem was "the next big thing" didn't look like the next big thing while I was snooping around for it.
