Happy Father's Day to everyone out there. I guess I don't mind that the greeting card industry created celebratory days like Father's, Mother's and Secretary's Day because it allows us to appreciate those who are most important to our well being.

It's been a week since I went to Fresno for the SO's sister's friend's wedding. Fresno is HOT. Since the destination was a wedding, I was worried that I would have to wear a suit. Boy, that would have been a disaster. As it was, I ended up wearing a white shirt with no tie. Thank God!!! By the way, Fresno is a testament to the ability of water to irrigate a barren place. Good Lord, that place is essentially a desert. If it were not for the ingenuity and engineering skills of man, it would still be a desert.

The wedding was really a reception after a wedding. The actual wedding happened in India. The bride was resplendent and beautiful. Aftar was wearing a beautiful red sari that was decorated with gold threads. She did not have the traditional henna decorations, however, one of her photos showed just how intricate and beautiful the patterns are. I have to do some research on the meaning of henna because there is always a meaning to bodily decorations.
