Derek you're hilarious - "it's like giving birth" - Ummm....unless you have actually been there and done that you cannot compare (however I catch your drift).

I gave birth in a car on the way to hospital and my husband's side of this story is that he did all the hard work, twisted his knee walking (calmly!) around the car to the front passenger side, in order to drop the seat back for me to deliver.

We all have our perspectives.

Men...well they do not necessarily have the most accurate perspective of childbirth.

LOL :)

The hardest part is hitting that "publish" button. Once you realize nobody cares it actually gets easier.

Put your content out there. The people who care will find you.

Looks like a picture of Zack Brown’s song “Knee Deep” without the sunshine.

Love it.

Derek- awesome job!!! You are the poster child for “side hustles” one of my favorite things to write about!

You are living proof that there are ways to “pad” your work career, day job-the thing that keeps the lights on.

Caution: if you are over 50, you NEED a side job! That side hustle might be what keeps the lights on when you are “downsized” ( what a great phrase— yup you sure feel small as you’re escorted out the door) or forced into early retirement.
