The gentleman on the left turns 23 years old today. People say we look related. I don't see it. Happy Birthday Brett! https://www.instagram.com/p/CkxQ21sOWG7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 21st Birthday Sweetie. They tell me that's an important one, but aren't they all? Stay home tonight and watch that documentary your Uncle @travisthefox is in. (at Montclair, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjoSHhzPqFJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We came for the best onion rings in the state, but left when some creepy dude in a Members Only jacket kept staring at us after we played "Don't Stop Believin'". Next stop: Satriale's. (at Sopranos Table) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5xoc-M6Ek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First annual Tipsy Pig Holiday Photo. Not pictured: Darlene Love. She insisted on taking the photo herself after delighting the restaurant with a rousing rendition of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". (at Tekamah, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXsRC9jslWF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I need to know more about this one act play from his sophomore year. I'm also guessing he would have liked that quote on his tombstone. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWgw7B0v_qy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Double Deuce Birthday to this handsome fella getting a birthday hug from his approving sister. I'll take a birthday dinner like the one we had tonight every night. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWHpG6Utbjx/?utm_medium=tumblr

The birthday girl reminded me today she's no longer a teenager, which means both of my kids are "young adults". Here she is sporting an updo in honor of Livia Soprano circa 1972. Happy Birthday Sweetie! https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8vn10MYBB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Latest photo for Daughter's Day. You continue to make me proud every day sweetie. https://www.instagram.com/p/CURbA99MqNo/?utm_medium=tumblr

One fella in these photos had a very rough night. I'd like to o say he was just photo bombing us, but it was probably the other way around. I was probably that guy 20 years ago, but I was lucky enough to suffer misery when cell phone cameras weren't a thing.

TBT to a wedding day near Portland, Oregon. Appropriately enough, the song playing was "Portland, Oregon" by Loretta Lynn and Jack White. We needed name tags because we'd just met. (at McMenamins Edgefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/COhJtsitzCT/?igshid=ieuhp4j917rx

It's taken years to figure out how to pose for a proper sibling photo. We'll probably need several more to eventually figure out National Sibling Day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgn08hBVcC/?igshid=1osab3c095dui

My quarantine hair game takes no prisoners. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLM_ravBFZf/?igshid=tjdvbxhn4ba7

Happy Birthday to this young lady. I'm in this photo, too. But I'm not the handsome devil with the beautiful head of hair on the right. (at Blair, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbow-7hhtX/?igshid=1n2l5fbe1p5uz

In my defense, there's a theory that I had Covid before Covid was even a thing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CISFqv6hDud/?igshid=s2uo57yxw73y

Apparently the "long story" about the name Tree would need an entire episode. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJpU6Th60H/?igshid=nfjo8v55jafg

Happy 21st Birthday to the handsome fella on the left. He finds new ways to make me proud and happy every day and I couldn't ask for a better son. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHaxps6BqT5/?igshid=10e8mlj3uok10
