So, I just had my first Father's Day as a father. Nothing really interesting happened though. No fabulous presents or anything. It was a Sunday, so I got to stay home all day and hang out with my daughter; that was pretty cool. And I talked to my own dad on the phone for a long time too. But I was disappointed, because I am not going to be able to go back to the US this summer. I had found some tickets that were not quite cheap, but at least reasonably priced. But with all of the airport fees and fuel charges and landing fees and baggage fees and oxygen fees and everything, it got to be more than I could ever pay. The fees were more than the price of the ticket! So I gave up. I don't think that airline prices will ever bee cheaper again in my lifetime either, so I guess I won't be getting back to the States until I get really rich, or save up enough vacation time to take the boat.
