Heartening to read how you've really gone out of your way for the ol' man.

Fvck the 20$ and buy him some nice pure malt if he is a scotch man, if not, buy him some nice wine or whatever. 20$ buys you a stick of gum and a pair of socks.

Get one of his favorite movies on DVD. If he has no DVD player, get a player and the movie.

A plate of rice and beans, and a very friendly Cuban woman from Calle Ocho.....and you'll still have change left over!

what about this? he's a huge tom and jerry fan and he hasn't seen any good episodes since we moved from our house where we had cable tv.

Sorry to hear that, someone else mentioned dinner, that is a good idea.

As a father, that would be the kind of thing i would have wanted from my son.

wash the cars. mow the yard. invite him to GO to a movie with you.

your time will mean way more to him than your money.

Just spend the day with him, take him out to dinner, go fishing or to a museum or something, maybe get him a good book or two.

You don't HAVE to do it on his birthday. I'm sure there is a day where someone can cover for him and he can go out with you.
