I am glad to see that father's day has been acknowledged a good bit this year (more than most years, I feel).

I've seen really sweet father's day ads in sainsburys (a supermarket). I've heard so many people talk about it. They had a bbq event for it today in a park in my town. They mentioned it a fair bit in the world cup broadcast today on UK TV (mind you, the woman mentioning it on the broadcast did manage to find a way to make it ultimately probably more or as much about herself). Despite that last part, I'm pleasantly surprised to see far more appreciation for father's this year than I can ever personally recall seeing.
