There will come a time in my journey of man where things will inevitably slow down.  A backyard garden will be maintained.  College funds will be invested.  Fatherhood and husbandhood will be towering priorities.  It’s not anything I fear or reluctantly accept; it’s what I’ve hoped to accomplish on my time here.  I am eager to push my children on their first training wheel-less ride, and make Mother’s Day brunch with them.  It’ll be a new adventure in which in which I hope to succeed.

One thing I’ve looked forward to is that transition into the life of the patriarch.  Quirks that only your wife could love tolerate.  The occasionally killer delivery of a dad joke.  And my favorite: hanging out with the crew.
