My brother and I have been doing a tradition of lunch and then a movie on father's day. This year the movie we chose to see was Wonder Woman. Not much of superhero - comic book fan but that is a awesome movie.

Wonder Woman on Father's Day?? Seems kinda wrong.![]()
Figured out on the drive down to Iowa this afternoon that it was Father's Day from all the buy your dad stuff commercials for Home Depot. Confirmed when I logged onto Facebook tonight. Yup, dads day, who would have guessed.
I was going to make a Facebook post with a picture of my dad's ashes, but my brother is overly sensitive to my morbid jokes.
The plan is the whole week. Mrs. Velo is going to ride the first half but jump off for my 12 year old's weekend of soccer team try-out fun. It was her idea for me to go full week and her drop off.This is why old man Boxster cannot bike with real road biker dudes. They average 18 mph when they haven't even been out training. I can hit 18 mph on downhill runs. I hate young strong guys.
You biking the full meal deal RAGBRAI or picking up mid-state and heading east?

You probably didn't get any Fathers Day cards either, aye?![]()

The kids liked the clue-to-clue scavenger hunt Christmas present challenge I put together for them last year so much that they created a scavenger hunt to Pop's Day. They were pretty clever. I have come to realize that Father's Day is really for the kids and I'm okay with that.
Yes. We used to go pretty regularly. Our kids are bit old now but it's a great facility, very interactive. I highly recommend it.@jcyclonee ever taken the kids to the Minneapolis children's museum?

You're forgetting the Ed Hardy shirts.We should get all jacked up on Mountain Dew first. Just sayin'.
I had a similar experience a long time ago when I went to see the Tina and Ike Turner movie. Every woman in the theater stood up and cheered when she hit him back.Went and saw the Tupac movie last night. It was ******* terrible. It's like someone said "Hey, we want to play 40 2Pac songs, how should we do that? I know! Let's make a movie!"
It was legit terrible (not that I expected much, but my love for 2Pac clouded my judgement.) Also, me and the girl I went with were literally the only white people in the theater.

We had to deal with all those detours on our ride last week. We were about a 1/2 mile from getting off of the trail when, all of a sudden, there was a closed sign. We ended up going around it rather than going back and finding an alternate route that would have taken us to God only knows where. It was fine getting around the sign but when we left the trail we had to go through a small corner of somebody's yard. Also, we got to see this at dusk so that was kind of cool.I finally got my fat ass on the bike. Rode about 25 miles through the park - I'm not sure exactly due to computer flaking out on me and detours on the trail. Did it in 1:23 which wasn't too bad, but my legs were screaming at me on the last little climb over the overpass when nearing home. The hills are definitely telling me that I have work to do. Chuck City to Cresco to Waukon to Lansing has a few bumps to contend with.

Sorry. Baseball tournament this weekend so we were pretty busy. Did you end up going?This info would have been useful two days ago, JC.
He probably should have gone with Tina.We have an employee with the last name Turner. He's from Kenya and his first name is a challenge for most people to pronounce. He chooses to go by his middle name....Ike (which is also short for something difficult to pronounce)
That's not a choice I would have made

Sorry about the poor resolution. I guess the iPhone I have isn't meant for this kind of thing.
