Personal Log: The return home

We’re back home now and here’s an update on how the past two days have gone.

Personal Log: Dead ends, no pun intended

Another update on Dustin’s search for information about his late father. It was a day of dead ends, no pun intended, but there was a little progress. 

Personal Log: Paying my respects in LA

My father who I have not seen in 22 years died last month and I found out on Friday. I’m in LA now, where he died and want to share the experience.
