Kristian with Ziggy, Ozzy, and Jonzi at Balboa Park (Taken 6.19.21) |
I'll be spending Father's Day with my dad and the family on Sunday, but today we celebrated Papapalooza at Balboa Park with a gaggle of friends and kids and you wouldn't have known a pandemic was still blasting across the world because everyone was talking and laughing and being close and loving a beautiful day in San Diego. While I didn't specifically ask anyone, I know the vast majority of us got vaccinated as soon as we were eligible, which hopefully means we're carrying some sort of immunity for the kids who cannot yet be. Still, we were all outside and it was a beautiful day.
I feel like I should say something profound about Juneteenth, but after the barrage of emails I got today about the day, I'm just glad it is being recognized, I'm honestly shocked it passed Congress, but we have a long way to go beyond tokening a day for all the systemic problems that are finally being recognized in our history as things to acknowledge, to work through, and figure out the remedies moving forward that would bring more equity into our society. Least of all things, those of us able and capable need to put pressure on our electeds and vote en masse every election and not just the big ones and support the long-shot candidates that represent our values.
But honestly, today for me was more about Father's Day. I'll honor my dad who was always an amazing dad who worked and provided for us, took us on trips and vacations that are cemented in happy days of youth. But he'll get the love tomorrow.
Today, at Papapalooza, I got a little bit misty about so many friends who are dads now. Who grew up with mean dads or shitty dads or abusive dads or absent dads who decided the cycle would not continue on with them. So maybe they're married dads or divorced dads or never had kids of their own but love their wife's children as step-dads, it is so beautiful to see this real generational shift in what dadhood or daddiness means. I'm so proud of the men in my orbit who have stepped up to be amazing dads in all forms, even if some of them didn't have the role models to get them there.
Also, thanks to my sister for taking Nova for a sleepover. We've got a full Luigi's pizza and a fridge full of beer to get us through the night with the new kittens all to ourselves. We'll probably be asleep by midnight.
Happy Papapalooza, Happy Juneteenth, and today I'm just gonna stick to the data where it's available.
Stay safe out there.
