Cole has been all I had hoped he would be for Christine and I. It’s been amazing watching this little dude soak up his surroundings and grow, mentally and physically over the last six weeks. I have enjoyed being a father so much, I decided to create a separate place to talk about the process, and thoughts about fatherhood in general, so I would like to introduce to the world, UnDad.com (Yes I am a zombie enthusiast).

I launched it last week, and has been really fun for me to work on, and the response has been way better than I should have expected for a blog in it’s first week. I look forward to exploring what it means to be a good father, husband and man in general there.

Here on Drewgilbert.com, I want to start posting a series of “Essential Things” this week, talking about items I have aquired that I think are essential to me, items I expect to last a long time without needing to be replaced. I was without a project after Tough Guy, and had wanted to do a 30k run here in Oregon this month, but training was not realistic with everything going on with Cole, so until I figure out the next wacky thing to try, I will go back and alternate between “Essential Things” and going back in time to recount the wackier things I have done.

I hope you continue to get a kick out of what you find on Drewgilbert.com, and I hope you will enjoy UnDad.com as much as I am as well!
