What a strange day for me :)
I am still father to three wonderful teenage girls. They want this day to be for me.
Is it bad that my most-wanted activities for Fathers Day are a mani/pedi and to go out for tea in some quaint Ontario town? I don't think so :) in fact maybe today is the best day for my kind of activities as all the stereotypical "guy" places will be pretty busy.
Thankfully my girls are very open minded, and although this is our "cleaning the house" weekend, I'm hoping for some relaxing time with the family and a nice movie.

Am I An Imposter?
Sometimes when I'm out as a guy, I find myself feeling like an impostor.
Last week, I went golfing, first time in probably 15 years. I really enjoyed the golf, but at the pub afterwards I felt like an impostor in the group (3 men).
This weekend, I went to a BBQ with some of my wife's high-school friends some of whom she hasn't seen in 20 years. I enjoyed the company but when getting into the stereotypical guy conversations again I felt like an impostor.
At the BBQ, there were some great musicians and I found myself yearning to pick up my guitar again. Especially listening to one fellow who declared that he'd always played guitar but couldn't really play any songs until a couple years ago.
I'd love to play and sing, but I know my voice wouldn't fit. My natural voice is very male, sort of high baritone to tenor range. I'm probably going to play around some, but don't hold a lot of hope I could pull this off as Gillian.
