Fathers Day will be here soon!

Just in case you're having trouble thinking of a gift

I'll share my Top 10 picks for my husband this year

#1. A FedoraOh yeahand this one might just be for me. I love the way a fedora looks on a man and now that they're back in style. It's time for my guy to look like Bond (Sean Connery version). This might be like his Tux , where he doesn't wear it much...but I guarantee he'll wear it sometimes, even if we're not leaving the house :).

#2. A Testosterone Movie...He usually wants the louder, the better. You know the kind where you have to straighten all the pictures on the walls after the sub-woofer has finished with it. This is definitely near the top of the list since he'll tell you that his favorite all -time Christmas movie is that Bruce Willis flick Die Hard.

#3. LingerieWhat?? Oh yeahI asked him what he would really like for Fathers Day and that's what he said. It's for me to wear but he'll tell you ...Oh no...it's definitely a gift for him

#4. Steaks for the BBQThose kind that come boxed to your home and cut like butter. They come in some kind of a dry-ice box to keep them frozen. I think that "steaks" delivered to a guy is what a dozen red roses is like delivered to a womango figure

#5. G.P.S any type that has a voice that doesn't sound like meI know he'd never use it if it did. Some "Southern Belle" voice would probably be good. ..as long as he doesn't go out each night driving around with a silly smile on his face.

#6. A Travel KitHe's got the travel-bag already but he's sure in need of travel toothpaste, floss, ear swabs, mouthwash and the rest of the tiny necessities. He'll especially need to keep this emergency kit in his truck in case that "Southern Belle" voice on his GPS gets him lost 200 miles from here.

#7. Golf BallsHe says most of the ones that he got last spring are "swimming" in some golf-pond somewhere.

#8. I'm thinking about getting him a fancy garbage can with a sure-lock-down-system. It's not very romantic but my husband has a feud with a local raccoon and it always gets our garbage. Maybe if I gave Bill a slight advantage he may win the battle with this bandit.

#9. Car StuffCleaning car wash, a fancy sponge and dryer-cloth, tire-shine etc..etc.. You know when I think of it, guys are really uncomplicated. We think we can't think of anything to get them but usually if you concentrate on sports, personal care items and their cars they're thrilled to just replace something that's worn out or lost from last year.

#10. Last but not least...I'm going to devote most of the day to him. Since it's a Sunday our teenagers will run off by 2 p.m. (2 hours after they wake up) and spend the day with their friends and that's O.K. This guy has been our cabbie, comedian, and comfort. I know it's kind of a clich that there are a lot of fathers out there but it takes a special someone to be a great 'Dad'. I truly have to say that he's one of the bestThanks Bill.
