I usually by my dad a book for father's day. It usually has to do with sports, or with his christian faith.

Anything come out in the last year that you all can recommend.

And, I am drawing a blank for my brother too. He bikes. a lot. Was thinking of just getting him a giftcard to one of the cyclery places so that he can get whatever gear he wants to make his rides better.

I don't know if it came out in the last year, but "The Good Son" is a great book about boxer Ray Mancini. LINK

i don't think you have to buy your brother a fathers day present though.

he has a toddler. him and the mamma have split up. he bought her a mothers day present last year and felt slighted when she didnt take his daughter to buy him a present (not bc he wants a present, but bc he wants his daughter to be taught its not all about her and not spew venom about him as a dad).

so, im taking the niece with me for breakfast tomorrow and while we are out we will pick out a present for daddy.

Sounds like you could buy him some injectable testosterone...Maybe, just maybe, it would stir some single cell in his body into devloping into at least one testicle.

I'm guessing he still believes in miracles...and Santa.

No. But, he hopes that, developmentally, the mother of his child wants whats best for their daughter. So, he hoped that her actions would reflect that. They have come a long way in the last year and are on much better terms. With that said, I also believe that i can not control another individual. I can only control my own actions.

So, in case baby momma decides to be passive aggressive again, I choose to offset any negative feelings with a gesture that gives my brother the warm fuzzies. He is a great dad and deserves at least that much, if not from his former partner, from his support system.

ive read moneyball... and I love michael lewis. I loaned him the big short and he wasnt big on it, but maybe he would enjoy that one more.

Great suggestion, Thanks!
