Reasons why I love my father and that I should tell him more that I think he’s the bee’s knees:

• He showed up at my niece’s play tonight to see her play a wild elf names Smacky. Smacky was a somewhat manic depressive elf, but she looked beautiful and I was smitten.
• He just had angioplasty on his espophagus. Hiatal hernia’s suck. He’s lived with it for years. They had to use a child size balloon because it was so small.
• He shouldn’t have come.
• He did. He was on some pain meds, but he came and  the little one was delighted.
• Thanks, Big Daddy. It meant a lot.

So this is for you about the television show you liked so well:

Fans trumpeting the cause of CBS’ canceled drama “Jericho” have caught the network’s ear.

CBS, deluged with calls, messages and shipments of nuts signifying viewer displeasure, is reconsidering its decision, a source close to the production said Tuesday.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly. A decision on whether to bring the show back, probably for a midseason run, is imminent, the source said.

“We are tired of the networks (not just CBS) tossing aside quality programming,” was the message carried by jericholives.com, one of several Web sites protesting the cancellation. “Enough! We’re going to fight for this one.”
