Father's Day, 2010
I've been on vacation in the Pennsylvania countryside. Now I need a vacation to relax from my vacation. Vacations spent with extended family tend to do that to a body, yeah?
There are many things I need to tell you. Starting with how we spent Father's Day this year. I told you how I surprised Serge with tickets to Anthony Bourdain, but I didn't tell you about the little gift Violet and I gave him earlier that day.
