In case anyone is skeptical of my post, the actual sms my father sent was a few pictures from a UFO festival in upstate NY (a stormtrooper, an alien, etc) with the following message: "Wish I could say that the UFO Festival was out of this world, but I would say it might have been closer to Uranus.". I was initially embarrassed to post that here :) But the additional context may be helpful.

I too have been let down by that UFO Festival.

There is, however, also a Sasquatch Fest a little further north if your father is looking for some new material.

That made me smile. As somebody who lost my dad over a decade ago, I can still really appreciate messages like that. A genre unto itself.

+1, warmed my cold heart a little. I never had this relationship with my dad. Wish we did.

Thanks for sharing
