Just in time for Father’s Day: 5 memorable movie dads

With Father’s Day coming up I plan to spend a portion of it camped on the sofa watching something on TV.  It might be something on basic cable like Burn Notice or Repo Games-both of which are entertaining in their own way.  That got us to daydreaming about our favorite fathers in movies.

Naptime DIY: How to mow your lawn in a diagonal pattern

Last summer a neighbor commented on the front yard.  “Hey, did you cross cut your front yard”, he said.  Honestly speaking we didn’t know what we did; we were just bored of cutting it in the same square pattern.  “Yup, we sure did”, I said.  The neighbor commented that it looked better than usual so I figured I should keep doing whatever it is we did to the front yard.
