Backstreet Dad Mode: Mastered

Two days ago, I had the great honor and opportunity to not only introduce my boys to the greatest pop boy-band of the 90s, but fulfill my wife’s 30-year unrealized, teenage dream of seeing the actual Backstreet Boys, live, in concert.

There are achievements, and then there are Master Level achievements. Two days ago, I had the great honor and opportunity to not only introduce my boys to the greatest pop boy-band of the 90s, but fulfill my wife’s 30-year unrealized, teenage dream of seeing the actual Backstreet Boys, live, in concert.

The view and experience was mind-blowing, even in the absolute last row of the Sphere venue, and the Backstreet Boys were humble, gracious, and put on the best concert I can honestly say I’ve ever seen.

Did I unconsciously strike my best middle-aged dad pose?

Yes. Yes I did.

    It was a great pose. But my favorite pose (which, I guess, isn’t actually a pose) is a more subdued one. One that has a calm quiet voice and an attentive, supportive voice that I see when you talk (AKA listen) to your boys. They’ll remember both “poses” with deep appreciation.
