It might be his engineering mind but he can seriously build whatever is needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. If you&#8217;ve got kids, what&#8217;s the best thing about THEIR dad?

He is also able to have a good rapport with all the high school he has had in 12 years of ministry (internship and parish).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

We somehow become interested in the same things though approaching them from different angles and it makes for interesting dinner conversation when I visit them and vice versa.  I also have his temper and I&#8217;m slightly better at controlling mine than he is (but only slightly).<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.

Who is your favorite fictional dad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a really hard one because most of the TV I watch is forensics dramas on <a href=\"http:\/\/cbs.com\">CBS<\/a>(not a lot of family interaction) and I read a lot of murder mysteries which involve females as the protagonist.  I think I&#8217;m going to echo <a href=\"http:\/\/passionateperseverance.blogspot.com\">Mary<\/a> on this and go with Frank Reagan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/shows\/blue_bloods\/\">Blue Bloods<\/a> as one of my favorites.
