A man in his 30s who I didn’t know came by the house tonight. Stared at my dad’s pickup truck in the drive. Talked to the truck, which to many, personified Dad. Then told my sisters how he had tough times and how my dad never gave up on him. That’s good stuff, you guys.

Things I'm glad were not "things" when my Things were little.
--Daddy-daughter dances. (Barf.)
--Elf on the Shelf. (Stop it.)
--Gender reveal parties. (That happens when the baby is BORN!)
I know these are unpopular views and I'm okay with that.
