Somebody’s Dad (Just Figuring It Out)

As the song writer said, "It Goes Down in the DL"...or was that "DM"?

Y'all, if ever you wanted to know what we see every morning while you drop your kids off for school, give this one a listen.

The Driveline is a beautiful combination of relationships, ratchedness, special moments and safety protocols... and a few laughs too.

Find out the Do's and Do Not's, the rights and Wrongs, the Awesome and absolutely Ridiculous -when it comes to "The DriveLine".

And the cool thing is, you dont have to be a parent to understand that it does in fact "Go Down in the DL"!

Hey Y'all.

Do you even know what your "Best" looks like?

Well, how are you gonna be something when you've got no clue what you're looking for?

I don't think anyone wants to be mediocre. But its hard to put in your best performance when standards aren't in place and you're too worried about your best being good enough for anyone other than you.

Y'all.

Sometimes the thing that sucks can turn out to be the least suckiest thing in your life. The curse can become a gift; and vice versa.

Sometimes you gotta go lookin' for it. Other times, its starring you right in the face. In either case, don't get too hung up on either - because sudden change has an undefeated record. lol And a sense of humor.

Regrets get a bad rep.

I mean, are they comfortable? Not really.

Are they frustrating? Perhaps.

Are they Universal? Absolutely... So clearly you're not alone.

I might be a bit difficult to think of Regrets as teachers and clarifiers. But they are more than just that thing from your past you don't like to think about.

We give Regrets a bad reputation. But if we sit with them, sift through them, and send them away, we may find cause to change that.

Its all over! The World Cup is Done.

What a wild ride. The small countries making a big impact. The on field decisions, phone-call-interference, and off the field unity! What a time!

And then there was Belgium vs. USA.

We took the L, but i think there's more we can take from what we all watched (for as long as we could before we turned the channel or exited the bars, watch parties, and stadiums).

Listen in and see if you can pick up a few wins from such an embarrassing loss.

You let em stay up later than usual, you stop and get em a little something at the gas station, you let em' have desert on a week night...

And how do they repay you?

They tell your wife!!!!

Give a listen to a few lessons I learned when dealing with kids who commit the crime, but don't do the crime lol

Summa Summa Summa Summer Time!!!

We're halfway through the 12 months, and, generally speaking, around this time of year, folks actually have a second to reflect.

And if you are gonna look back, do it the right way.

Listen up, you might learn something - and maybe UNlearn some things too!

I'm all in my feels ya'll...

They grow up so fast; its no wonder we get attached to who they were just in time to look up and see them become who they'll be.

The last day of school was a trip; but a trip not without its take aways.

Listen in and see if you can find meaning in the midst of all the mushy stuff lol.

Crap can come outta nowhere!!!

And when it does, you gotta figure out how to handle the fallout. You have deal with what has to be put on pause, adjust what you can and can't do while dealing with whatever it is; and somehow still keep it moving - cause life doesn't stop.

All the while, you're wondering, "Is this gas or something else? And do I wanna risk it"?

Thursday IS OUR DAY!!!! It must be.

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest in the Europa League Semi-Final second leg.

Momentum, Familiarity, Set backs and come backs, Leadership...

Even down 1-0, it aint over til its over.

Take a listen to how you and Aston Villa are not so different. And maybe the boys from Birmingham wont be the only ones to win big!
