It seems that 2024 is the year of the “boo basket”. Awesome! And if you’re wondering, no these are not the McDonald’s Boo Buckets that they have desecrated this year. This is an entirely different monster! This falls right up there with “push presents” in the world of things that make me go “Really?”** Ah,…
It is an understatement to say that I do not have your typical setup as a father. Three kids, the only thing they have in common is me and my last name. When I say that these 3, genuinely being siblings, is one of my greatest accomplishments, I don’t say that lightly, or without pain,…

12 years. Somehow my baby girl is 12 years old. I’m not really sure how that happened! Yes, today my sweet, silly, cosplaying, underdog defending, YouTube personality purveyor, creative, big-hearted Bug turns 12. Abigail, you’ve had my heart and my number from day 1.
