A time and place to come through

We hit a million subscribers on Scenic Fights recently. I mentioned to you when we first started. Also went to the kid’s school to see how he was doing.

A million subs!

Him: What are you gonna do with yours?
Me: I’m gonna drill a hole on top and wear it around my neck like Flava Flav.

Speaking of Scenic Fights, we did – indeed – hit a million subscribers recently.

I got that fancy gold plaque you see me strutting around with above.

It’s funny, but I didn’t really think much of it when I first did it – I did it as a favour to the producer, who had a vision that I now see.

I mentioned the first time I filmed anything for them in passing in what is probably one of my most quoted entries, Hitting the Button.

[T]here was something I had to do on Saturday morning (which I’ll tell you about some other time).

Well, that something was Scenic Fights.

Had no idea that we’d come this far but here we are.

And I wonder how far we can go…

Him: It’s tomorrow.
Me: Do I have to go?
Him: Oh…it’s ok, you don’t have to come.
Me: (laughing) I’m kidding, man. I’ve never missed any of your things, have I? I’ll be there, don’t you worry.

Went to the kid’s school the other day because there was a “publishing party,” which just basically means the parents come in and see how their kids are doing in school and what they’re working on.

I showed up five minutes late because I had some stuff to do first and I think he was worried that I wouldn’t show.

Man, if I could bottle and sell that kid’s smile when he saw me, alla my money problems’d be over.

Him: You came!
Me: (scoffing) Dude, just give me a time and place and I’ll be there.
Him: Here, look what I wrote…

Like I said, so much of parenting seems to be just showing up.

Location: freezing in my gym
Mood: brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Music: I just need a time and place to come through. Send me your location (Spotify)
