Big Boys at Big Lake

I was thrilled to corner my three sons and the five grandchildren in the same State at the same time for the first time in a couple of years. While up at Big Lake today, I could hear my boys in the other room sounding off with a familiar refrain. Whenever one of them wants to throw shade on his brother for doing or saying something stupid, the biggest insult is: “That is such a Dad thing to do (or say).” Today the insulted son replied, “Just saying that makes you the new Geoff.” The silver lining for me is the satisfaction of unifying my sons against a common enemy. And all I have to do is be myself. Only the Seahawks can even come close to possessing this power.
