Fathers, those underappreciated of the parental persuasion, often have a sneaky way of being darling. Witness this recent email from my Dad:
Thanks for calling today.. I really enjoyed hearing from you. You always have something interesting to say. You're fun.
Love,
Dad

Love the new logo! Stunning. Hey, did you see Blogher from a couple of days ago? That was exactly the passage from your ROFL post that made me laugh out loud.

That is really awesome, and I so appreciate you sharing it! It's always uplifting to have your parent appreciate you as a person, adult, individual as well as a beloved child. Your dad is the best!
