Thanks for all your writing (and dadding)! I enjoy your work, and look forward to reading more of it in other venues.

Thank you, Michael, these missives have been so wonderful. I think we all appreciate you sharing your sweet family with us through your blog. Onward and upward!

Thanks Mike, for stepping into a really difficult thing and writing both from vulnerability and honesty.

It’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I include that on top of the list of jumping from planes, getting shot at, and screaming down roads littered with IEDs.

I appreciate it, and having crossed the transition from toddler to kid, I also understand it.

Thanks Doom. I'm happy we found our way into each other's lives, albeit virtually. Let's hope to change that someday soon! You're an amazing dad and a great human and I look forward to reading more of what you have to offer.

I'll miss the regular dispatches, but totally understand the need to step away when something is no longer creatively fulfilling. Good luck with the next thing, and I'll there checking in whenever I see your byline.
