Tank Top Summer!

I forgot that tank tops were even an option. Seriously. I don’t think I’d worn one in 10 or maybe even 20 years. A couple weeks ago, during one of those brutally hot days where even walking across the house feels like work, I pulled on my old Larry Bird jersey as a joke. No […]

I had mine first

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
 Jenny bought the same glasses as me. She looks better in them, though.

I made this console for Betty

A few weeks ago, I disappeared into the garage and built Betty a proper center console completely from scratch. Woodworking and I haven’t spent much quality time together in a while, so there was definitely a brief period where every measurement became “close enough for classic car work.” But somehow
 it turned out kinda rad. […]

Today was the last day of school

Completely bonkers — my kids just finished 3rd grade. I swear it was yesterday they were tiny humans riding in the back seat with fruit snack crumbs everywhere, asking a thousand questions before breakfast. Now they walk into school on their own… with opinions, jokes, and gigantic backpacks. Time moves quietly until it suddenly doesn’t… […]

There’s style. Then there’s STYLE.

I genuinely think Alice may have the best style of any human alive. Not “fashion” exactly. Something better than that. Effortless. Funny. Unexpected. Cool without trying to be cool. One day it’s bright colors and sneakers that somehow perfectly match the bike. Another day it’s sunglasses that make her look like she walked out of […]

A Chill Evening

It doesn’t happen often. I spent an evening alone, and as you would expect, I spent it with my car and my camera.

If You See a Bald Man Jumpin’ Curbs


I gave into the peer pressure from Auggie and Alice and bought a bike. But not some stiff “old man” bike. Not a sensible hybrid. Not something designed for “active lifestyle comfort.” Not a bicycle that quietly suggests I should start comparing lawn fertilizer. I bought a RAD BMX bike. Because apparently some part of […]

Bike riding fun!

Last week, I finally taught the kids how to ride their bikes. I still can’t believe they figured it out in only two days. Then came last Sunday: Me in the garage. Music on. Cameras, car parts, and half-finished projects everywhere. The kids doing laps around the neighborhood like they’d been riding for years. Every […]

Brookwood Wax Museum

There are few things better than watching an elementary school gym turn into a full-blown “historical” wax museum. Rows of poster boards. Fake buttons taped to the floor. Kids attempting to stand perfectly still, but occasionally sprinting across the gym to see what their friends were doing. Alice chose Anne Frank, which somehow fit her […]

Daddy / Daughter dance

Alice gave me the honor of inviting me to the Daddy/Daughter Dance. I didn’t expect it, but was honored to accept.
