Happy Fathers' Day to all my fellow fathers. I miss my dad. And I miss my father-in-law. I haven't had anyone for whom to buy a card for a long time.

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Sean Connery played Henry Jones, the father of Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford.  Henry Jones reminded me of my dad, who was very intelligent and did not suffer fools gladly.
