I’d say I was maybe six or seven in this photo. We were at the elementary school with my little brother. He was riding his bicycle and I was rollerskating. This is just chock full of 1980s goodness. Also, I was a pretty feral kid and it shows. Love you, Dad!

That isn’t the case for everyone, and that’s difficult to wrap my head around. Last night was a panic as the story unfolded. It was a … Read More
