- read 1 book/month
- date more

father's day not far away

i think this moustachioed father's day card from egg press (portland, or) remains my all-time favorite.


don't forget to send your dad some love on june 19th!


and take a peek at this rad video from the folks at egg press, celebrating their 10 year anniversary. gives me chills!

bear hugs
