Father-Daughter Tay-ronto

November 24, 2024December 13, 2024 Jo Tango

It took a lot of planning and doing, but my daughter and I went to Tay-ronto for the concert. It was very surreal in that we had some good seats, and so, could see Taylor as a human being vs. an image on a flat screen or as a voice on a song. We were

Parenting Gets Better

When I was a much-younger Dad, I did a networking sesh with a prominent executive. I like meeting new people. He was older, about the age I am now, and he said something I have never forgotten: “Parenting gets better with each year.” I didn’t understand what he meant. He explained that as your children

The Sulphur Hatch

June 21, 2020July 1, 2020 Jo Tango

Some things cannot be explained. They can be mentioned, but they cannot be communicated in a way so that the other person understands. Take yesterday. I awoke at 2 am, left the house before 3 am, fished 14 hours, drove a total of 4.5 hours, and pulled into the garage at 9:30 pm, tired but
