father’s day, 2009
Written on June 29, 2009
my brother and his wife are having a baby daughter in september. my father, who lives in new york, has not seen them since before emiko got pregnant, so i thought it’d be nice to make a video for him for father’s day. also, i figure it serves to mark my brother’s first “official” father’s day – or is that a pre-father’s day? either way, i’m to be an uncle soon and as such it’s my right to subject everyone to time in front of the camera. at the moment, the leading contender for baby names falls to “willamina”. so here’s my brother james and emiko and willa – t-minus three months.
of course, my brother approaches impending fatherhood with his usual humility.
and just in case it’s unclear, that phrase he says at the very end is “chocolate cake and fred segal’s.”
