How was your Father's Day?

Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that.

Ah, I missed your post and made my own. I have this gripe that if it's really supposed to be important then Father's Day (and Mother's Day for that matter), should be a three-day weekend. However, this is really part of my reasoning as to why it's not actually that important. It really is just another Sunday and anyone trying to make it too much more than that is setting themselves up for disappointment, fathers and father-enjoyers alike.
