That's the love of my life, two years ago, tying two Christmas trees to the roof of our truck because the kids wanted one on the landing to their rooms, and I needed to have one in the front hall where the twelve foot ceilings meant it could be eleven feet, eleven inches tall.
What? It works fine...with a very very small angel on top. Don't judge me.
I couldn't resist taking this shot where the sun appears to be shining out his ass, because--well--he's my everything. He's the slayer of spiders, the picker-up of dog poop, the cleaner of kid vomit, runner of electrical, brewer of coffee, installer of sheetrock, and a million other things I won't bore you with because they only mean so much to me.
He's also the quintessential "fun dad" and I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean that without him our kids would probably have been told that reading War and Peace can absolutely be as fun as playing Kingdom Hearts and "A zip line is way too dangerous for the backyard!"

I'm not one who thinks real love means sharing every second of the day or every interest of our lives.
But that doesn't mean I don't want to support him in every way I possibly can, which is why I'm hoping that those of you who follow me, who enjoy my fiction and my company at the Isle, who are looking forward to the release of the Steemit Anthology Series, and feel I contribute something to the community, will take the time to go show 
So gogogo! Check out his inaugural post, Does it Byte?, a review of some game called "ECO" that's a "global survival game" whatever that means. I glaze over when he tries to explain these things because he loves me anyway.
Thank God.
