Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there. As a #girldad of three under four years old I foresee my day doing fun stuff with them and my wife Stacy. I am hoping that maybe towards the end of the day my wife will let me escape to see the new Flash movie with Michael Keaton as Batman (in case you are reading honey). Until then I’m just going to enjoy the day and be thankful for such an awesome family. Have a great Fathers Day! ????
And in tribute to the late great Bill Paul – I want to wish you a happy fathers day in heaven. I hope that you’d be proud the the family Stacy and I have made.
And now for the reads and listens!
