You’re a dad in your late 30s trying to stay in reasonable shape, eat like a grown person, keep your household from quietly falling apart, and show up for your kids without completely losing yourself in the process.

I write from the middle of it — the 20-minute workouts before anyone wakes up, the Sunday night couch check-ins, the mental load that doesn’t show up on any calendar, the beef organ pills I put in my coffee and am fully aware of.
Specific, honest, occasionally self-deprecating. That’s the deal.
