Once again, another year has gone by and we are celebrating another Father's Day. I am all for celebrating it with lots of gusto. I am not saying this just because I am a father, I'm saying this because I like living life with lots of gusto.

I would not complain about this, because nobody would listen to my complaining anyway, but fathers really do not get their due share of praise and recognition. Father's Day is not quite like Mother's Day where people go out and spend billions of dollars for mothers, usually out of Dad’s pocketbook. By the time Father's Day comes around that pocketbook has been picked bare.

If we are going to be fair about this business of celebrating Mother's Day and Father's Day the two events should be separated by more than 30 days. My recommendation is, one year we celebrate Father's Day and the next year we celebrate Mother's Day. That would be fair.

Nobody has ever put into practice any suggestion of mine in the past so I am confident nobody will pay attention to this wonderful plan that I have. But it does have merit.
