The Vermont author passed away early Sunday morning, ending his three year battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a rare form of Parkinson’s Disease. David wrote the words that I sang last year in […]
The Whole Story
This is not the whole story. I wanted to be upfront about that, so that you don’t get the wrong idea. I have peeled back the curtain more than most, perhaps, but you still aren’t getting it all. Aside from the fact that there is no way you possibly could even if I wanted you […]

The Best Experience a Dad Blogger Can Have
Some days I write for myself, just to get something out of my system. Like yesterday. Other days I write for you. Yes, you. I write something that I hope you will enjoy. I hope you will laugh, reflect, learn, or smile. Like the day before yesterday. But honestly, I write a lot of these […]

Banned From the Kids’ Table
