Thinking — gratefully, amazingly, amusingly and thankfully — of his two rambunctious children on Father’s Day in Boston, MA.
The Idiot became a father (his daughter Sonia was born in 1982, his son Luke in 1984), 34.78 years, or 18,280,880 seconds, ago in Paris, France.
He’s especially thankful that his kids, raised in the south of France where his son was born in Cannes, never gave him a tie for Father’s Day.
About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
