Happy Father's Day

Except for New Zealand, most parts of the planet are celebrating Father's Day.  It is a time for celebrating and honouring the joys of fatherhood and paternal bonds.  There will be the usual trek to dad's favourite restaurant or eating place, as well as going to places that dad loves to go or buying a gift for dad, and so many other countless ways of bonding with dad on this his special day.  How I wish my dad was here or nearby, so I can go and hug him, talk to him and just spend quality time with him.  I will just have to satisfy myself with a digital hug via Skype, Facetime, Facebook Video, YM and other ways of communicating electronically.  Whatever way we may have in celebrating this day, just remember it's the thought that counts and not the medium we will use.  OK, go ahead and make dad's day!
