I sent my dad a text at seven am this morning saying Happy Father's Day! :D You're awesome!. This afternoon, we suntanned on the back porch together, reading magazines. The pork tenderloin I'm making for dinner is finishing in the oven as I type. Hopefully it will be tasty, and then I can declare this Father's Day a success. (Wish me luck: I also made rice balls for the first time, because we're having Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner, and I like to cement my Favourite Grandchild status whenever I can. The rice balls look ridiculous - and not in the good way - but I'm hoping the grandparental instincts of "My offspring's offspring are so talented!" will shine through and save the day.)

Completely unrelated, last night Chloe, her friend Melissa and I watched Brokeback Mutants X-Men: First Class again. Equally enjoyable the second time, and now I am going to read fic FOREVER! (Seriously, beautiful angsty, slashy goodness is beautiful.)
