Regular Dad
The life and thoughts of a pretty normal middle-aged, middle-class, suburban dad. Also doubling as a mental health exercise to maintain what little shreds of sanity I have left. I’ll cover home life with 2 kids and a bread-winner wife, sports, news, rants, raves, and of course whiskey and craft beer. And naturally whatever else is going on in my life that week.

A breakdown of my normal-state personality traits and how they creates a surprising clash with how I need to operate on a day-to-day basis as well as a longer term basis. No, I'm fairly positive this won't be the only time we get into this...
