    On You 2

    Boys, So you have this big wooden ship. And you go sailing and things are great and ooops you hit a rock and damaged one plank. So you make it back to harbor and you take that plank off the ship — you don’t mess with the sails or the anchor or the mast or…

    On Our First Pinewood Derby

    The Pinewood Derby race with Reagan was a challenging yet fun experience for the father-son duo. Despite challenges in car construction and performance, they enjoyed the process together.

    On Here’s a Shitty Airport Story for You

    Boys, So I want to start by saying that this blog is for you two. I want you to have something you can look back on and learn a little bit about what our lives were like at a time you probably won’t remember very much of when you’re older. Maybe reading these will spark…

    Your Papaw is one of the most interesting people I know. I think that everyone who knows Jim Butler has their own, very unique, relationship with him. I hope that you two grow up to know him in your own way.
