About The Retro Dad..

Hello and welcome to TheRetroDad.com. You’ve landed on a quiet corner of the internet—on purpose.

This isn’t a content mill or a click factory. It’s not polished for the algorithm or chasing viral trends. This is an old-fashioned weblog—the kind where people used to write because they needed to. Where you’d check in just to see how someone was doing, what they were thinking, what made them laugh, or what kind of donut they were having with their coffee.

I’m rebooting this blog as a space for reflection, honesty, nostalgia, and human stuff. Sometimes it’s a story from the past. Sometimes it’s a random observation while sitting in a parked car. Sometimes it’s just wondering out loud if I even like doing the things I thought I loved.

You’ll find posts here about:

Everyday moments that still feel sacred

What’s changing in the world (and what we’re losing)

Food memories, growing up, and places that don’t exist anymore

Mental clutter, cultural shifts, and finding peace in ordinary routines

If any of that feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here. I don’t take it for granted.
