• Daddy Issues

    Let me tell you a funny story that happened last Sunday. On Saturday night, I had some friends over for a little birthday celebration. We had a few drinks, and we stayed up late. The next morning, my daughter Roberta tried to wake me up, but I couldn’t open my eyes. Then she “whispered” (note…
