I am a dad whose life, just like yours, overlaps into many areas and subject matters. This site is mostly for the sake of amusing myself by having an outlet revolving around the topics that interest me.
Man Stuff
You know...fixing things, home improvement, building things, fishing, camping, yard work, and watching Youtube videos to learn how to do something so you don't have to pay a professional.
Dad Stuff
While this is closely related to "man stuff", there is a distinction. Dad stuff involves skills like wearing cargo pants (aka purse pants), inventing new dad jokes, and a sixth sense of when the windows are open so you don't frighten the neighbors when you need to yell at your kids.
Work Stuff
The serious, professional side of life. I
tend to share my insightes on leadership, communication, productivity, and technology.
Photography
Sometimes I take pictures. I am not a professional photographer, though I do occasionally take pictures as part of my profession. I share my favorites on my photo blog.
Woodworking
I build heirloom quality furniture and decor items. Visit my woodworking blog for examples. I am not really a "pro", though I do sell some items. Let me know if there is something you are interested in.

My Perfect Day
I tend to have too many hobbies, but oh well. I enjoy learning new skills and sharing what I have learned. If I could design the ideal day, I would break it down doing the following: (Yes, I know the numbers don't add up...that's life. I can't do everything I want.)
