So proud and amazed daily by my sons (23 and 21), both musicians.

My oldest son (drummer) just completed a tour with his grindcore band. He played LA, Sacremento, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Squamish, Kamloops, Edmonton and Calgary. He has made so many connections.

My youngest (guitar) is on the Deans List, entering the 4th year of the music program at Grant McEwan. He plans to do his Masters at McGill. He shares my passion for fly fishing.

Can’t wait for grandchildren.

Hell ya, trout. That's super slick. Sounds like you were a good father.

That's awesome

Mine are smarter, more athletic, kinder and more empathetic than me.

I consider it a win

Mine are 18 and 19. I love when I see them sleeping or just having a faraway look or something when you can still see their baby face in there somewhere. It's so cute and neat to know them from a little tiny hunk of weirdness to competent, accomplished, smart people. Plus they're super fun. Or when they randomly meet you in the hallway or whatever and just give you a big long hug. Straight into my veins with that.
