HBBC Unplugged

In the blink of an eye, our daughter is off to college. She was born 8 weeks before the market crash that realigned my priorities. While taking care of her, I dreamt up a silly baseball company. It’s hard to believe that both are 18. One is off to do her own thing, and the other has allowed me to do the same.

It felt fitting to give her the kind of sendoff she deserved with the people who love her most. We rented a Sprinter and drove nearly a thousand miles through the wilds of Montana and Wyoming. We saw beauty so immense that we had to pull over countless times. We ate s’mores and wild berries. We hiked through canyons and meadows. We learned to fly fish on a river that knows more bears than people. We twisted and turned through mountain passes and cruised down the longest straightaways I’ve ever seen. We hiked to the top of mountains with views a state away and hugged the closest people in our lives. Cold plunged into the clearest and deepest water imaginable and randomly encountered steaming, hissing, bubbling volcanic mud pools. We saw massive wildlife and bigger skies. We attended our first rodeo and we played catch in some epic spots. In short, four people slept in a van and had the time of their lives.

On the rare days that we even caught a sniff of cell service, my notifications would alert me to incoming orders and the reminder of the work waiting for me at home. Everyone who placed an order while I was away was happy to wait. Priorities ruled the day. I’m grateful to have taken this trip with my family and I appreciate your support along the way.

Getting caught up. Getting stocked up. Panels ready to fly. It’s been a long summer. Thank you for your patience.

This is the first impression of many that will be available soon. Some you’d expect, others you wouldn’t. ✌️❤️⚾️

Couple of props for an upcoming book tour this spring. The inscription on the ball is dated 9/27/17, that’s nineteen17. Any guesses? Where my history people at?
