Had an Ohio Wombat outing today. I organized most of it, had help with the lunch because it was in Columbus. We don't have a lot of Columbus Bats, so they don't get much representation, so we've been trying to have more outings there. My dad kindly offered the use of his apartment since he was going to be in Virginia. All I told him was it was it was my womens group, and we wanted to have our meeting in Columbus. And then we were going to go to Bicentennial Park and could he give us directions? (Bicentennial Park is where Columbus Pride was held today) My dad has never been officially told that I'm gay. I mean, I've got a rainbow bumper sticker on my car, I read books called "Into the Heart of Lesbian America" and "Dykes to Watch Out For," he's not brain dead, but he's never said anything. My mom's not thrilled. She's not evil about it, but she gets kind of huffy when I talk about it. ANYWAY, I had a point. The point is, when I got back to Cincinnati, Dad called and this was our conversation:

Dad: So, you made it back ok?

Me: Nope, I'm dead

Dad: Well.

Dad: Did you guys have a good time?

Me: Yeah, thanks for letting us use your apartment and your car

Dad: No problem. So what was at Bicentennial Park that you all were going to?

Me: Um...well...um...it was Columbus Pride Day.

Dad: Oh cool! Well I'm glad you were able to have fun.

(more conversation ensued.)

I love my dad.

-----------------

Lunch itself was nice. I'd never had Greek food before. I just ate the meat and filling and left the pita ^_^ I resisted the baklava. The Crossing went well, I thought. I tried to make sure that everyone got a chance to talk without feeling shortchanged. I hope no one did! (Crossings are like group vent sessions, you can talk about anything on your mind in a confidential and supportive forum).

All in all a successful day!

Now I am exhausted. I went to sleep about 4am last night and got up about 8:30am. Time for bed.

Oh, and my sunburn is finally peeling. On my back. Where I can't reach. And it ITCHES! And no one in the house will peel it off for me :-(

See, if I were to have told my mother "It's Columbus Pride day." she would have assumed I was proud to be from Columbus. :-)

Your dad really is cool. :-)

He *is* really cool! He's so cool that in the directions he wrote out for us, he used the word "Thence."
