The Dad Story Project

At the edge of a river deep in the forest, a father and son find the past and the present fused together for a few precious moments. A poignant story of a canoe trip, lost trains, blackberry brambles, a distant memory, and the ever-onward march of time.

A story of daring reptilian adventure as our family's collective obsession with snakes, turtles, and their related ilk, lead to late nights on the lake, squealing tires, crates reinforced with steel, chewed golf clubs, and nearly-amputated toes. It's all just good family fun and it builds a kind of redneck character that will last a lifetime...although we're not quite sure that's a good thing.

This is a cautionary tale about two young boys who decide to take the technology of the day and modify it in order to do something utterly stupid. In fact, the activities in this story were so ill-conceived and idiotic that no disclaimer is warranted. Therefore, don't try this at home. Yet, as it turns out even mistakes can serve as life lessons that often prove invaluable as we navigate adulthood. I said "often" because unfortunately, it seems the two main characters may not have gotten the memo. Anyway, everyone lived through this harrowing episode and here we are decades later, thriving and adulting in spite of our misspent youth. Enjoy, but don't imitate...

This is the tender story of a little girl and her grandfather and how a few minutes on a summer day changed their lives forever. It's a reminder for us all to be on the alert for those simple everyday moments when a bit of encouragement and cheer can be the most precious gift in the world.
