My daughter and I choose West Virginia for our first father / daughter trip.  

West Virginia is a beautiful state I've only taken the opportunity to visit twice.  This episode recounts the events of my first trip.  

I share how I've failed to become a musician again and again and again.  

In 2004, I was diagnosed with a speech disorder I'd have for the rest of my life.  

I have a couple innocent interactions with someone I saw as an elementary school bully.  

My kid loves school so much more than I ever did.  

I've led a privileged life.  But that doesn't mean I don't worry.  

The title says it all.  

In this episode, I recount the first time I cursed at my parents.  I came out of the gates strong.  

I used to be scared of the dark and I guess I still am.  

In Middle School and High School I had some moderate OCD tendencies.  I'm glad I got over them, for the most part.  

I left Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1979, when I went off to college.  After my parents left the city in 2003, I didn't return until 2019 as a forty year old with a ten year old daughter.
