I celebrated Father's Day by eating Costco hot dogs with my friend and discussing why we weren't calling our fathers or sending cards. I guess if I didn't feel so much pressure from this Hallmark nation to make my life look like a Mervyn's commercial, I could have sent him a card pointing out his assets.

Dear Dad,

Therapy was a disaster.
But at least you went.
Happy Father's Day.

But Hallmark doesn't have a section for relationship grey areas...yet. I see a whole line: "Break-up sex" cards, "I love you, but I need my space" cards, and "Go with God, because I'm done" (which isn't so gray)...

It's becoming clear that I'm no longer fit for polite society.

Just for today, I experience holidays in my own way.
