Ah! I think this is the first time I've ever been tagged!
I know what you mean about your dad. I miss doing all the kinds of things that we used to do on Saturdays. He's a handyman x1000, so we'd always tinker with cars, work with stereos, build all sorts of things. Or we might organize his workshop. Do sheet metal work up at a family friend's shop. Move various pieces of furniture for the family. Drive around running random errands. Now that I'm older and seeing things from the other side, I miss it. If my dad calls me and tells me he needs me to do this or that, I get really excited. I will wake up at the fucking crack of dawn to go do something with him. If my work schedule allows, I'm going to go with him and my brother-in-law on a week and a half roadtrip in early June from Gainesville, FL up to, I believe, Boston. But I can tell you that I didn't appreciated it then. I'd often groan and grumble about getting up late, about wasting my day, about this, about that. I shouldn't have. Anyway, the moral of the story is I know exactly how you feel.

Do you know who invited you to the crush party?
Rock on, Russ.
