    Not here much…it’s been a rough 2025 in many ways, and I’m grateful for it. I’m totally fine. Haven’t missed a meal! :)

    I think I’m close to losing my Dad, who is my hero. As @B-Bob could tell you, my Dad had to overcome a lot. His father was at Alcatraz…Levenworth……serial bank robber and then some. My Dad decided at 14 years old he wanted to be the Dad he never had…and so then he was and then some. I decided my first year of law school I was happy to practice law maybe, but I wanted to be my Dad mostly.

    Anyway…ran across this video today and this is another hero of mine. I know it’s not a quick tik tok video so it maybe TLDR for some…but if you can watch all the way through, you should. This is what we should aspire to be…kind at the very least. Hope you all are well!!!

    Sorry to hear, Max.

    My dad just turned 86 on Monday. We had a great relationship until about 20 years ago when things inexplicabley went south. Doing my best to mend things now so I don't have any regrets when the inevitable happens, but it's not easy.

    Fathers are SO important.
