Happy Father’s Day to DadHTP. 

I can credit my father with:

• My political views (thanks for brainwashing me as a child, Dad!)
• My love for racing, especially for cycling.
• My facial structure.  I am the spitting image of my father.
• My obsession with sci-fi and fantasy movies and shows (anyone else watch Highlander in the 1990s?!).
• My appreciation for 1970s rock and roll.
• My education.  My mom pushed me to work hard, too, but I really think my dad was the driving force behind my academic career.
• Keeping me out of trouble from 1998 – 2002 (fun fact: my dad would make me breathe on him when I returned home from a late night out with my friends to prove I hadn’t been drinking.  Freshly brushed teeth were cause for grounding.)

Wish DadHTP was around today (he’s actually in California) because I would’ve made him a double batch of his favorite breakfast!

In the pot:

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup rice milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 banana
• Chia seeds (for Omega 3’s)
• Topping: a drizzle of maple syrup

After yesterday’s record-setting unproductivity, I am determined it GET ‘ER DONE today.
