We're going to go out on a light note after so many heavy episodes...mostly because I didn't want to cry in front of my father-in-law Rob Hood!

He is a person I genuinely like and enjoy being around and not just because he's my wife's dad. We share a very similar sense of humor. He's a wonderful, self made, hard working provider too. I'm incredibly lucky to have him as a dad.

Thank you for listening to this little journey with me. I do feel like the luckiest person in the world that I have such a wonderful family and so many top notch friends.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

This is going to be the penultimate episode for awhile at least. I sit down with my wife to review what I learned over the first 24 episodes of talking to my friends about parenting.

I would like to return to this show every couple of years and check in with my guests to see where they're at and what's changed. So I hope you'll come back for that. Next week I'll be talking to my silly Father-in-Law Rob Hood and finally solve the mystery of why Allyson and her brother Kevin were able to watch Caddyshack, but not Beavis and Butthead as kids.

Thank you again to Rob Bentley for letting me use the song he wrote titled "He's Me" from our old band together Exploded Toad as the theme song for this podcast. Autism Awareness is very important to the Bentley family, so I want to take a second to play the charity Autism Speaks. Please donate if you are able.

I didn't know comedian and photographer very well before this interview, but she posted something on Facebook that I found really moving about how resourcefulness in her childhood contributed to the artist she is an adult. So I reached out to her to talk about that and the challenges of being a stepmom.

I haven't really been putting links to my guests in these show notes, but if you would like to see Kara's amazing photography, check out her website:
