Live Long And Dad

Live Long And Dad

By Cosmo Moore

Dadding, the final frontier. These are the voyages of a stay at home dad. Figuring out how to survive a five year old and two preemie infant twins. Oh, and I'm legally blind and work from home.
Join me on this journey, along the way I'll likely talk about Star Trek, Steelers football, movies and television and whatever else comes out of my sleep deprived dad brain.
