Thanks! I try to make the best of it, but I have no kids. Plenty of fond memories of my father though.

Hope you have nice father's day too Quipper!

I'm enjoying the cool, sunny weather today, about 70F and a light breeze outside ... finishing up the rest of my spring yardwork.

Dinner sounds great!
