Mr Offerman, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My apologies for arriving late, the wife's needs come first, as you know.

Last month I had the good fortune of becoming a father to my firstborn son. He is a stout lad, and strong. I hope to instill in him the value of hard work, the pride that is found in fine craftsmanship, the deliciousness of a fine whisky, and the pleasure a man finds in knowing his word is as valuable as his signature.

On his 18th birthday, I intend to give him the best advice I can offer on being an upstanding man. As one of the finest of these yourself, what do you suggest I say? Much obliged.

Wise words. While venison is my preferred meat, i look forward to trying this American Ham. Slainte!

My father was diagnosed with RP back in the early 2000s. He was diagnosed extremely fast (~3 months after the first flare up) because his physician had coincidentally attended a medical conference where it was one of the case studies. As a result, he's doing very well and the disease is under control for him. It's almost an afterthought in our lives now. I know first hand how incredibly painful this disease can be, but keep the faith! With attentive care and time things can get so much better.

Back when we first learned of his disease he discovered an RP support group online. Have you found any similar place to share your story? It was a huge help to my entire family to be able to talk with other sons, daughters, wives, and husbands going through the same thing we were. Please also feel free to message me on here anytime, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
