That’s it! It’s Over! We’ve survived another holiday season! On a personal level this has been both one of the most rewarding but also stressful seasons for me. I decided to use Paid Family Leave and take off from early December to the second week of January. And, by that, I mean I took a break from everything not related to being with my family.

First and foremost, I hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I’m still bloated the next day. I’ll be moving around by rolling for the weekend. Billie Eilish I like to think that I’m a lenient parent. My wife and I try not to hover, or over parent. The downside is that sometimes I question whether or not what my eldest daughter is doing/seeing/hearing is appropriate for a seven year old. This is never more evident than her choices in music.
