The orange juice is poured, the coffee is brewed, and the French Toast, dripping with gooey syrup, is waiting to be devoured. Little fingers have worked hard at hand crafted cards featuring stick figures set amongst shaky first letters. It’s 7:30 AM on Father’s Day (or probably 6:30 AM if we’re being realistic here.

White shirts and blue jeans. Mom, Dad, kiddos. Everyone. All in a line and smiling at the camera. The hair is shellacked and there smiles are a bit too forced. I’ll let that image (it’s probably from the 90s) sink into your brain for a moment. Ok. Now let’s push it far, far away. Why, you […]
