I get jokes sometimes from relatives and friends, “You make too much money Raph”. While I think in some small part that’s a compliment to the appearance of success in my business, I can’t help but reflect upon my situation and see how much that’s really true?

Kingston had his first taste of something besides milk just the other day. It was a baby bottle of carrots (UGH I hate carrots, shhh don’t tell him).
