ComiCon came to Minneapolis this year, which made it easy to go. My daughter is a big fan of superheroes and costumes, so for her it’s a three-day non-stop fun fest. Me too. Got done with work early, grabbed Short Stack and my wife, and we headed out. Met some friends that I’d not seen…
Oh, sure. Lots of people draw heavier bows. But this one is the heaviest I’ve been able to even attempt – mostly due to lack of opportunity. It’s an 85-lb handmade longbow. Well, not that long. The form makes a big difference. If you hold the bow out and simply pull, it’s a lot harder than…

Hold on to Big Sister's Wonder Woman suit. Little Sister will need it soon enough. Enjoy and congrats to you both. Cheers and boogie boogie.
Congrats, man! You must be so proud! Now go enjoy your sleepless nights and try not to think about how quickly Short Stack and Newbie will be bringing boys home to meet Dad 🙂
S: I love being a big sister.
D: you won't be saying that when she starts trying to date your friends.
Congrats, Doug! Adorable little baby girl. Makes me remember when my youngest was that size, now she's about to start kindergarten…
