What did you do for Fathers Day???

[mrkawasaki]

Woken at 12.45am on Sunday morning at Mayhem by Captain Sinnet and told to be on the start/finish line at 2.15am. Readied bike in the heavy, cold dew and swapped with DryPaul on to a double lap shift. Stopped around 4am for a cup of coffe at the tent feeling somewhat alone - babby still slumbering (wife acknowledged I was still alive). Returned at 6.01am in bright sunlight. Tried to sleep but couldn't - the heckling tent soon fired up and the warmth brought the family around. Fired up the rusting digital wheels of steel before being presented with my first ever Father's Day card at our tent, complete with photo album of the first seven months with my boy.. three hours to pack up our gear, home by 10pm, arms roasting themselves. No milk in the house for tea, so straight to bed (approximately 30 miunutes sleep in the last 24 hours/Junior however, got at least 11...)

Mothers day has been celebrated in one form or another (motherhood, womans day, fertility etc) for thousands of years, but I am sure Fathers day was a recent thing introduced by the card industry :?

Dunno about the card industry being responsible but you are right about the rest.. ithat is assuming that America was invented before the 1970's. . .
I was born in 1966 and can't remember it being around then... :?
