High Tech for Father's Day?
Writing for CNN's headline news, Erica Hill suggests that, "Gadget sellers seem to love Father's Day. The Sunday flyers screamed the upcoming holiday this weekend, reminding us all the best way to show Dad you care is with a new digital camera, MP3 player, or if you're really loaded, why not go for the ol' plasma TV? Heck, they're on sale!"
Thankfully, despite the advice, Ms. Hill says, "My dad knows how much I love him and, luckily, I don't have to tell him in dollars. He gives me a gift every day just by being there to listen." Apparently, it's just the rest of us who have shallow, self-centered fathers who require monetary re-inforcement of their feelings.
(Do me a favor... Give dad a hug, a kiss on the cheek, tell him you love him, and that you appreciate everything he's done for you. Buy yourself the technoid gadgets rather than waiting for him to kick off so you can inherit them.)
