This is me sipping bourbon, or it might be iced tea after the ice all melted, I can't really remember. I have two kids and a wife and two cats even though I like dogs a jillion times more. I tell bar stories and I entertain and some people might say I'm more awesome than juggling chain saws on fire. I never heard anyone say that, but it's possible. Cheers.
