Happy Father's Day

  Thank you for slaying the dragons.  

"Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later...that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called 'Being a Father' so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important; a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life."   (Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities)
