Things I Want For Father’s Day

Things I want for Father’s Day- baseball tickets!

I don’t want a mug or a tie or any more BBQ equipment. Here are the tangible and intangible things I want for Father’s Day:

1. Being woken up with cake and presents

2. Then being able to turn over and sleep in for a while

3. Nice weather for a family bike ride or picnic lunch

4. A long phone call with my dad

5. A handmade card from my son

6. Some sort of Game of Thrones swag
