Best of the INTENTernet: Thanks, Dad!

For this week’s best of the INTENTernet, we have gathered the best content around the web on honoring our fathers–this Sunday and all year-round. Not only do we have great gift and un-boring gift ideas for your old man, we have also collected informative articles, quotations and a classic podcast episode from Chicago Public Radio’s This American Life that just might quite literally make you laugh and cry. Happy Father’s Day, everyone!
