Who Doesn’t Love a Daddy Daughter Day?
Recently, mini me and I were able to head up to Raleigh for a day and hit a few golf balls at Drive Shack. We’ve been trying to get back there for a while, but with life’s curveballs, we’ve had to constantly push it back. But finally, a weekend freed up for us, so we […]

Time and Change…
Today, I started a new job. It was like going to a new school in a new state (military kids know how that goes) and you have to do that people surveillance to see who is going to be cool or not. Everything went as well for a first day, but it still felt weird […]

Daddy in the Kitchen
Growing up, I was never “taught” how to cook. I just kinda figured it out. The first time I cooked food without help, I burnt it, messed up my momma’s favorite pot, smoke alarm going off… Yeah, it was bad. Over the years though, I’ve learn how to cook, not only in the kitchen, but […]
