How about a 6 pack and time for him. Dads don't want much just the time of day from his too busy kids. Drop by and spent the evening with dad and mom playing board gaomes or watching a ball game or something he likes to do. Doesn't cost anything but your time.

the best present is really you and him doing something HE likes to do...Fishing?

it's all about letting him know you know what HE likes to do and you are willing to put your personal distaste for the outing aside and do it anyway....the material presents are a dud with older fathers (my opinion)

69? <snicker>

Happy birthday to him! I think at that age he probably just wants his good friends around him, don't you think?

Maybe a suprise party? flowerforyou
