If Father's Day in Indianapolis isn't nice, what is?

If ever there was a day designated for giving and receiving good advice, it would seem Father's Day is the day. I'm not sentimental about much anymore, and even though I refer to myself as "dad" more often than I use my actual name, the holiday is among the things I also don't elevate over any other Sunday. Indianapolis's own Kurt Vonnegut, an advice-giver of historic importance famously gave advice in a commencement speech at Lehigh University in 2004. He said when things are going well, we should make the commitment to notice it. The famous author's uncle used to say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"  I've had some fantastic Father's Days for my nearly three decades as an official honoree, celebrating all of them in Indy. I took my writing hero's advice to heart yesterday and made a point to notice it.
