As Father's Day is now upon us, I think it's worth remembering that Father's Day isn't just a time to honor our dads. It's a good time to give thanks for the blessings embodied in the fathers and grandfathers we have been fortunate to have in our lives. Without them we may not have learned to build and fix things, deal with novelty and frustration, and roughhouse with each other in a playful way.
We are biologically geared to traditional parental roles. Regardless of how many efforts are made to "equalize" the roles and responsibilities, I certainly hope the Liberal loons in our society don't suceed in emasculating our traditional Dads. Steven E. Rhoads, author of "Taking Sex Differences Seriously" (now out in paperback), did an excellent piece on this very thing called "What Fathers Do Best."

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Grand-Dads, and Great-Grand-Dads!
Most of all, Happy Father's Day to my dad --
Dad, you did what fathers do best.
Thanks for all you've done and all you do that makes us a fun, smart, solid, and loving family.
