Join Me for the Second 'Story Weekend'!

[image error]I was delighted with the response to my first Story Weekend last weekend! I'm so glad you enjoyed sharing your thoughts and hope you'll join me in doing so again. We're still in the experimenting stage, so I'm sticking to my three rules:

The story must be true.
Try to keep it under 100 words. That's about six or seven lines in the comment form. I want others to read your story, and most people tend to skip if it's too long. I know how tough it is to "write tight" but I hope you'll accept this as a challenge. 
Avoid offensive language. 

It was easy for me to come up with the theme for this weekend, since Sunday is Fathers Day. So our theme is 'fathers', and I'll start the ball rolling. Have fun!
