We never did father’s day when I was growing up. In fact we didn’t even do our parents’ or siblings’ birthdays. People often look at me strangely when I say this, and to be fair it’s probably the same look that I gave Leon Rudge at high school when he…

I’d love to think I’d be able to do something like this: Time But I have trouble enough remembering birthdays and anniversaries never mind an annual portrait day. I might hand the idea over to Kerry; she’s far superior at that sort of thing. It’s a terrible stereotype but it’s…
