Tracks And Trophies: Neither Brings Dad Back Home
I didn’t know any better. Maybe you’ve been there and know how crappy it is. Of course, when you’re just a little dude, you don’t know that it’s crappy. You think you’re being a lil man, all tough and everything.
Why Men Walk Away: Generational Prodigals
Then I began to dig deeper into the previous generations by recording the same dynamics. Soon, I had created a family tree of truth.
March Madness: Day 5 | Hold That Line
I spent my youth doing one thing. Can you guess what it was? Well, besides sports of course. I spent it doing what most young boys do – trying to earn the approval of their dad. A few years ago I sat next to him in a hospital bed as he lingered in and out of conscientiousness.
