To all the Fathers out there, salutation on this day. My own father died when I was young so this day doesn’t have the same punch for me as it might for most people. However I have brother who are fathers and I wish them and their families the very best.

My sweetie-wife did surprise me with a father’s day gift even though I am not and never will be a father to anything except fiction. She got me the blu0ray collection of the entire run of The Prisoner. It has the original episodes, restored and in their HD glory. (The show like most dramatic programming was shot on film so it does benefit from the High Def treatment.)

The set also come with about 3 hours of bonus material including a 90 minute documentary on the show covering just about every aspect of production.

All in all a very cool gift and a very nice day.
