| Quotes: |
I'm a dork when it comes to family traditions. I'm also more nostalgic than I probably want to admit.
<br />
<hr>
Through the years I have greatly simplified my life and embraced a somewhat minimalist philosophy. The fact that I now have few material possessions is actually quite liberating. Where would I store a boat anyway?
<br />
<hr>
I look forward to fatherhood someday. Sports cars are cool, but give me the minivan. |
