Smacksy Sunday Link: Father's Day

The dad in our house, Bob's sweet dad, my husband Jeff.

I first learned of this Groucho Marx song from my friend Jen who had a fine tradition of singing it to her dad every year on Father's Day. Since Jen's dad's death last year, the song has taken on a bittersweet quality. I love it still. (I love it even more when Jen sings it, but this Groucho version will do.)

To those of you who are a dad, and to those of you who are with your dad, and to those who are missing your dad today, Happy Father's Day.

  3. Awwww....
    It was a better world with Groucho in it. Thanks for reminding us and happy Father's Day to the father of your darling boy. (And I have to tell you- that man of yours is pretty darling himself.)

  5. Thanks for spending Father's day at Jack Knapp's house. While he was brushing his teeth tonight, he said "Bob's a nice boy".
