My friend Morgan Snyder tells a story of one day driving with his pre-teen son. They were on their way to an adventure, I’m not sure what, a hunt, hike, fishing trip maybe. But he asked his son, “What are the top things a man needs to survive?” After a few moments his son replied,
It was the beginning and the end of our deer season. The last for 2020 and the first for 2021. I had promised a mixture of boys to come and hunt with me during the year and I just didn’t stop long enough to work out the details, until January 4, 2021. Almost the end

When I left there that day I was mad. I usually don’t leave the movies mad, but this time I was seething. It wasn’t the movie; it wasn’t the people sitting next to us. I was emotionally fired up because the movie was a powerful depiction of real men, honorable men, men who were willing

Steve was one of my brother’s friends. Two years older and so much wiser and, of course, super cool. I don’t remember why I was with him that day in the woods but I was following him on the trails through thick and thin. Then, in a moment he stopped and looked me directly in
