I used to think that I would end up spending my entire life in Washington State. It’s where my family was from, it’s where my children lived and it’s where all my friends were. When I moved to Florida (for what we now know to be a somewhat misguided...

I was on the phone with my son yesterday. We were laughing about a bunch of stuff as fathers and sons do. He then asked me if I would ever lie to him. When I said, “No, of course not!” it took him only a second to call me on it. “What about...
