I’m still recovering from this past weekend’s Extra Life 2016 gaming marathon, but loss of sleep was well worth it. Along with thousands of other gamers all over the continent and beyond, we raised over $6.6 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Other than pesky colds and the occasional flu (damn you, back to school germs!), my kids are fairly healthy, and for this, I am extremely thankful.
