Being a father is not a right. It is a privilege. Sunday was Father’s Day. My son called me to wish me “Happy Father’s Day.” I did not hear from my daughter: she had hung up on me several weeks ago and cursed me out. I had written her a letter and she reacted violently to my words. Either we have a relationship based on truth or we have no relationship. It is her choice not to talk to me. I am not her friend but her Dad. And I will continue to speak the truth whether or not she likes it.
Lynelle and I celebrated Father’s Day by taking the Millersburg ferry across the Susquehanna River and eating at a great restaurant that was walking distance. Millersburg is a great quaint town. I took many pictures with my new digital camera of the river and of the town. I could not think of a better way to spend Father’s Day.

The “kiddies” were all taking pictures of the different fish in the aquarium with their I Phones and I Pads. Everyone had them. I read, presently, more photos are being taken with those devices than regular cameras. These kids grew up with that technology so it really should not be that surprising to see that. I am a dinosaur: I am still using a film camera. I am about to buy my first digital camera. Prices have come down considerably. I am slow to take up new technology except it is not new anymore. I am just old.

My friend pointed out I might live till seventy-five–ten more years. This conversation was kindled by my discussion of buying a digital camera and what kind. I just get exactly what I want. Maybe, I will live another ten years. Maybe, not. I should get the camera with the features I want. I do have some birthday money. It is certain I will not live another sixty-five years so he had a point.
