It’s that time of year when we take the time to tell our Dads how much we appreciate them by giving them the standard tie, goofy card or in my husband’s case, a day to watch a whole baseball game preferably the Mets or the Yankees, uninterrupted.  My mother will tell you I was very much a “Daddy’s Girl”.  I always went to my dad first no matter what.  Need money?  Ask Daddy.  Need the car fixed?  Ask Daddy.  Need to explain why I was failing high school Algebra?  Tape a letter to the toilet...wait, that’s another story…
