Fathers and Sons on the Blue Side of Liverpool

More so at the neighborhood shed in the portion of Liverpool painted blue than at the stadium on the baby blue side of Manchester 45 minutes away, big time football is an intimate family affair. Like a hankering for meat pies and a distaste for the cherry red side of […]

A Day (And Night) In The Life of A Legendary Dad

Disclosure: I have partnered with Life of Dad and Old Spice for this promotion. Jason Green, oh I’m sorry, I mean THE Jason Greene, fancies himself legendary and in need of Old Spice because he thinks he has it rough during the day, with all the homeschooling and new baby […]

From Disparate Childhoods to a Dynamite Marriage

From a purely geographical standpoint, my wife and I grew up in the same world. Although we didn’t know it at the time, we were exactly 26.2 miles from each other as kids. In every other category not measurable by running a marathon, however, our childhoods were worlds apart. For […]

Preparing My Body For An 84 Mile Hike Across England
