Father's Day 2010

I have been so tired this past month doing tons of overtime work. But I am not complaining. What suffers is my planning skills. It goes down the drain. Usually, I make a lot of funfare celebrating Father's Day. This year it was a little blah...

We were supposed to go to lunch but got lazy and ultimately just ended up staying in. In the evening, we went to my in-laws. The image of the Blessed Virgin Mary is visiting us again from Montreal, it so happened also that it was my mother-in-law's birthday, so the whole family was there. As always, we had sumptous dinner but we were in a hurry because we scored tickets to the LA Dodgers vs. Red Sox game. Two things: it was my first baseball game and second, Manny was playing. I Love Manny Ramirez. Hate me all you can, but I love Manny. It was actually funny how I would cheer crazy when he is at bat and I was at the Red Sox dominated area. Talk about sitting on the lion's den!!! We did not have the best seats but it was so much fun. The crowd was great and I finally experienced "the wave". Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark, so as you can imagine----old, full to capacity and just plain Boston sports night----equals crazy. It was not hot and humid but it felt uncomfortable because the seats were so compacted that you basically have to stand up to let other people pass by or if you need to go sit. Mr. Hubbs got himself a Red Sox jacket , actually now that I recall, my 3 great companions (NOT) were all wearing Red Sox shirts and I was NOT. Wow... great, just great on my first Red Sox game. The traffic on Fenway area is unbearable after the game. But it was still a very memorable experience for me.

So, the kids got their Dad something special, of course. Karmina got her Dad this

It may not show very well in this picture but the necktie has all the Celtics great players--- Allen, Garnett, Pierce--- and of course Llaga. Sweet!

Here are the little inserts on the shirt's pocket. Some stuff they promise to do when Dad wants to "redeem" the coupons. I don't know about the garden part... we live in a condo! Hahahah.

Isn't she sweet. I literally cried on the part where she said " I'm glad I'm your daughter."

And here's the funny part. Those coupons expire... Dad needs to use it right away, right KC?

All in all, it was a very wonderful day. We all wore white, by the way! I leave you with some snapshots of my family on Father's Day.
