Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

The best part of my life has been being Dad. I think I can say that with authority because I have been Dad to eight children. I’m not under that mystical spell that comes with being a new dad—you know, where it’s all wonder and joy. No, I’m far past the “cute” childhood stage. I’ve […]
