    Great story all the way around, from the MM, to the cook and mutual appreciation across the generations.  Nailed the whole thing.  Congrats across the board.

    Blake is a solid fella. Never met him but spoken to him on the phone several times while helping me through some HVAC issues with a rental property. The guy is a class act and clearly a good present giver. Nice job Blake

    I appreciate everybody's kind words. Truthfully I'm humbled.
    We are very proud of Our Son. He's a cook, musician, scholar...But, most of all he's our Son and friend. I hope he enjoys his egg and passes his artistic eccentric and lovingness to his children one day. He's a great Lil Dude.

    He doesn't look like any "Lil Dude" to me.  How many folks his age have their own BGE.  You should be a proud Papa!! and sure are a great Dad.

  • This is the most heartwarming post...what great encouragement and support they have given as parents, and what a great gift this man child is! I have to say I took one look at the first Christmas picture and said, "He's the spitting image of Blake!" (I haven't seen Mama's picture so maybe one will will be posted sometime soon.)
