Don't go out a ton anymore, rather stay in. Tonight for instance, I'm just having some cocktails and editing photos from a shoot and listening to music... and getting distracted by Hubski.

-Replace editing photos with editing music and we're not so different AD. What was on the menu? What were you drinking?

When you're not able to go out as often as you used to, you get much better at crafting drinks and cooking etc. At least that has been my experience.

Best of luck with the baby, I'm excited for you. As you may know, our daughter is 3 now and it's been the greatest experience of my life having her around. She's a blast and the relationship between a father and a daughter is a very special one.

Quick story:

When we got the ultrasound and found out we were having a girl, the first person I called was my father. I asked him, "dad, what did you prefer having/raising boys or girls?"

He responded, "Steven, I can't tell you that." but after some prodding he said this, "The other night I was at your sister's house and we watched a movie together. Mid war through the movie she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. When was the last time YOU did that?"

-So there you have it. My father's way of saying raising/having a daughter is more rewarding than a son. I took no offense to it, in fact I can now see where he is coming from. The other day my daughter asked me if she could marry me when she gets big. The amount of love there is astounding.

Enjoy the journey pal. Be sure to check in and let us know how it went when you can. All my best!
