In a world where dysfunction is the rule rather than the exception, Fathers' Day holds a special place in my heart and my psyche. Brother ether^ra and I are products of a Fifties tyrannical tightrope approach to child-rearing that has colored, for better or worse, all our choices in "adulthood". We were blessed to have lived through the societal upheavals of the Sixties where we could plainly see that there were other ways to approach life on planet Earth. Given the mistakes that we have all made, it's a wonder any of us can function at all, and the choice of non-procreation seems a wise one. Happy Fathers' Day!
