People sometimes gloss over Father's Day unfairly. I thought this while listening to some morning DJs sign off on Friday. They were talking excitedly about the St. Louis Blues winning the Stanley Cup, the upcoming parade for the team, and how Laura Branigan's "Gloria" caught on as the team's postgame song. As one of the DJs wished everyone a nice weekend, another one chimed in, "Happy Father's Day." Another DJ responded, "Yeah. That, too," prompting some giggling from the other DJs. Obviously, no malice was intended, but it was interesting, hearing a grain of truth about the holiday acknowledged.
If you're a father, here's hoping you haven't felt marginalized today.
