    It's good to get an annual reminder for those of us lucky enough to be dads - this is the best job we can have.

    This is the first Father's Day in ages I'll get to spend with both kids and I'm jacked beyond belief. Our marriage may not have worked out in the long term but we somehow managed to produce and raise two incredible kids who are now doing amazing things and for that reason alone, it was a smashing success.

    My daughter just bought a house (with a huge back yard just for Ella) and she's having everyone over for a cookout.

    Put aside all your bullshit for one day and celebrate your dad. Or your kids.

    Happy Father's Day, SJers!

    My daughter woke me up at 5:30 like she was shot out of a cannon. Is it time to start drinking yet?

    I'm watching Minions right now with my son literally draped all over me. No complaints.

    Happy Father's Day, everybody. Took my boys for a big breakfast. Later, the library for the nerd, the golf course for the jock, and Dairy Queen for me.

    5-year-old has been deathly afraid of theaters ... until the lure of Cars 3 proved too great to resist. On a 100-degree day, the six of us -- mom, dad, 17, 15, 9 and 5 made it the big of occasion of the youngest's first movie. Huge momentous victory to get all four kids in the same spot for three hours. I'll take it.

    Don't let it go to your head. My wife already declared to the world on Facebook that I was the best dad ever, not you.
