This year’s Father’s Day ended up being far more special than I had anticipated. My son and I had the chance to do something new together that wasn’t even on my mind a few days ago: we grilled a steak as a team.
My family and I left New York City for the weekend and were able to enjoy some grilling. This activity is both a rarity for me and a time of pure pleasure, often accompanied by some Jimmy Buffett music in the background.
