Dear Charlie 7
Hey kid, I barely have the time to write this. You just graduated VPK and are starting kindergarten in a couple of months. You’re so smart and learning so much every day.

Also, the fact that podcasts have “episodes” means that there is more built-in pressure to produce them on… Continue reading I (Finally) Started a Podcast.
The Weight Loss of 2020
I know I probably sound like the boy who cried wolf at this point. But I’m doing another weight loss plan. And it seems to be working pretty well so far. If you know me, you know I’ve tried so many different things over the years. Some of them seemed to work really well. Others… Continue reading The Weight Loss of 2020
Happy Birthday, Papa
Hey Papa,I still think about you sometimes. I wonder how you would view the world. I don’t linger there, because I’m afraid we would disagree on a lot (as we always did). But I what I really like to do most, is imagine you meeting Charlie. The leather squeaking on that old recliner as you… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Papa
