Loved this one, BG. Congrats on the pubs! Excuse me while I go shave this 5 day stubble.

Thanks buddy! It will make you feel good for about as long as it takes to happen.

That’s what I figured. Haha

Thanks for sharing, Bob! Keen to read those stories, too.

All of it. The endless desire for more baseball; the felt need to shave more coupled with the lack of discipline required; the grief of turning over new leaves, discovering new parts of yourself (I would argue the dirtbag self is still there, just a bit more gentle now); the wandering through time and space. You hit all the nails on the head.

Congrats on creating a beautiful boy, and cheers to you and the family!

Thank you Christian. Enjoyed getting to chat with you the other day, and I hope you and your people are all doing well too!

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW YOU ARE ALIVE. YOU ARE DOING BIG THINGS WITH GETTING PUBLISHED. CONGRATS. THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SON WAS VERY MOVING. ALSO, THE BIT REGARDING FATHERLY SHAVING ADVICE HITS SO CLOSE TO HOME. STILL HAVEN’T LEARNED TO LIKE OLIVES, BUT WHEN I DO, I WILL THINK OF UNCLE BOB. WELL DONE AS ALWAYS, MY NORTH-OF-THE-BORDER BRETHREN.

Thanks Moe! I think we should come up with our own rules for shaving, like maybe there are no rules. Or maybe let’s just do what makes us feel good. That’s a good rule.

Good to see something from you again, and congratulations on the recent publications! I’m curious to see what you have cooking with your pal.
