Teaching an old dog new tricks: I may not be the Marine I once was but I’m cool with that
Since becoming a dad, there’s been a running joke among my friends and family about how fatherhood is making me soft.

Off the grid before it was cool: Dick Proenneke’s legacy lives on via YouTube
My family recently made the move out of our little corner of the Georgia woods and into full-fledged civilization: neighbors close enough to see and interact with, roads made of pavement instead of dirt, and some sort of conspiratorial organization that operates in the shadows but seems to exert a great deal of influence over […]
