Use of Theme Father’s Day**
Here in the States we take this day to celebrate Fatherhood and how much we appreciate dads. Not the human equivalent of pollinators, buzzing and flitting about from flower to flower, but the honest-to-goodness dads who put in the time to raise their kids. They may not be the best, but they try. They may not have had their own dad present as a role model, but they persevere.
My dad will be 89 next month and I got my first scare at the Maggard Meetup in April with regard to what we all know is coming. The reminder that our lives are ultimately not in our hands. He officially had a TIA that day, received a subsequent cancer diagnosis, but thankfully any progressing dementia has been ruled out. He still has some fight left in him, but it’s been stressful for us in the midst of his decline.
I celebrate dads today with Williams Mug which, until its recent demise, has been creating lasting lathers since 1840. It’s been a punching bag of late, but I appreciated the honest evaluation that u/WegianWarrior gave it three years ago. Today’s aftershave is a favorite of years gone by, Avon Spicy in a “World’s Greatest Dad” trophy decanter it predates a few of us here, myself excluded. Some of you won’t have a clue. For being over 40 years old, the scent is still quite present, but likely won’t carry like it did back in the day. I’ve also paired it with another vintage Avon product from 1993 in cologne version for today’s fragrant finish. Musk for Men is a light, musky fragrance some say is Adidas Active Bodies with musk oil. I don’t know about that, but it is a suitable musk for the summer months.
Daily Challenge: Leg Day
As if last year’s Never Skip Leg Day didn’t even matter. Nothing I can probably do to top last year’s 7.2K views of my epic short except a spite shave. This video is not for the faint of heart
Have a lovely day and be kind to one another. I don’t really hate all of you…just acting like I do.) 😁
