Hang in there, dear reader. You’re almost to the weekend. It’s so close you can imagine yourself basking in the 90+ degree heat. Wait, is that just Houston where you feel like your walking through the steam of a hot bowl of soup when you go outside?

Please send air conditioning units. Thank you.

It’s Father’s Day this weekend. I thought I might offer ideas for presents or entertainment for dear old dad. You have a solid chance scoring some of these gifts with so little shopping time left.

Good Housekeeping has a pretty good gift guide that won’t break the bank. Consider yourself lucky. My dad asked for a John Deere tractor. Do you think he’ll be disappointed in the flip flops and Old Navy royal blue t-shirt he’s getting?

My friend Melanie Shankle wrote a beautiful piece about fathers on Today.com. You might need a Kleenex.

Entertainment Weekly has a list of fun dad-related movies to stream!

If you’re not listening to Knox and Jamie’s Popcast, you need to stop everything and start downloading. In their latest episode, they have a discussion about the best pop culture dads.

People has a list of Father’s Day books that cover a multitude of interests. Although I haven’t read many, the list does look intriguing!

Speaking of books, if you haven’t submitted your suggestions for the IHGB Book List, you still have time! Simply email me at lincee@ihategreenbeans.com or leave your recommendations HERE in this post.

Happy weekend, everyone!
