Happy Fathers Day to the Dad's in the club. Extended ones too, for all that you do for your kids (i.e. starting cars in -20 degree weather, making sure they have good windshield wipers, and that they check the oil at least twice a year LOL)! I took the family to Famous Dave's last night for 'Dad's Choice'...
