The Camp Chef is THE GREATEST
A war is coming. I’m about to write something that, if I had more than 12 readers, would set off a firestorm of angry comments and Tweets more intense than a hundred year Trump campaign. A rage worse than an old-person and a young-person… Continue Reading “The Camp Chef is THE GREATEST”
Day 1
There’s always a Day 1 and any day can be a “day 1”. This is my “day 1” of getting back to my Blog. My life, at the moment is full of Day-1s. My wife just took a new job teaching a new grade… Continue Reading “Day 1”

Dad Stuff, Part 7: Re- Crate Training My Dog
Everyone talks about how the pandemic and shelter-in-place has impacted the family dog and I’m here to tell you, after analyzing a control group of one dog (my dog) . . . it’s true.
