Blame Cannada

Every kid receives the same warning, but nobody ever believes it.

“You’re going to be just like your father…”

Have you guys seen that “state your unpopular opinions” challenge making the rounds on Facebook again.

Of course you have! There’s nothing better to do than to scroll social media for hours at a time.

Well, I’m going to give you an unpopular opinion.

HGTV is completely unrealistic.

I know some of you guys might need to sit down following that bit of breaking news, but it’s true.

Most parents will spend the majority of their kids’ first few years of life trying to teach the concept of sharing.

It’s necessary for sibling relationships. It’s necessary for relationships with friends. It’s necessary for your child’s selfish heart.

Your child will fight back against this lesson.

I don’t know what it’s like to be an athlete that loses their talent with age.

I didn’t have talent to lose, so I never had to endure the pain of steadily becoming worse at the sport I enjoyed most.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t know this feeling.

I have to be honest. I went on a late-night gas run on Monday night. Not really because I needed gas, but because I wanted to see if there would really be long lines for gas out in Blue Ridge at 10 p.m.

Star Wars day was this week.

I just felt half of you roll your eyes and turn the page.

I’m what you would call a Star Wars fan… I guess. I’m a reformed Star Wars fan.

I don’t envy my wife’s profession nine months out of the year.

Teaching is a tough gig. It comes with an insane amount of pressure and extreme expectations. It also comes with three months off.

Shannon makes sure I’m well aware of this.
