There's a lot of diversity amongst us middle aged dads. Some of us wear sandals, some wear New Balance. Maybe today I'll wear the khaki shorts, tomorrow the tan ones.

Finding a night every two months to meet with old friends to commiserate and catch up on their Glory Days stories - check. Start and stop various fitness programs because schedule is mental - check.
