This book wouldn’t have been possible without the understanding and patience of my wife and children. Towards the end of the book I was stressed, tired, and grumpy, but they kept me grounded and on track, and more importantly they helped by ignoring my tantrums! Thanks Kim, Madison, and Alex. I love you all.
