Writing about my experience on Saturday and getting a glimpse of what it’s like to be a dad and have something happen to your kid, made me realize I haven’t written anything about Dad for Fathers Day this year. I put so much work into the piece about Saturday that I’m behind in posting something … Continue reading Fathers Day 2021 (slightly belated…sorry, Dad)

I’m not sure what she’s waiting for, but I reckon it seemed a little too soon to get Jacob involved … Continue reading Reopening and the Boys
Baseball Pupils Update
It’s been a while since I told you anything about my other pupils. Well…my other pupil. I stopped working with Noah a few months ago. His heart just wasn’t in it, and there’s no sense in spending money on a baseball tutor for your kid when your kid doesn’t care that much about playing ball. … Continue reading Baseball Pupils Update
