If you know my son, Porter, you know he's a hardcore train aficionado. After moving to Alabama, he discovered a train club where he met some like-minded friends his age through the train club. It ended up being the four of them, who recently starting running the train club, which was very cool.

Just back from a week in Alabama visiting my son Porter. It's been a while since we've been able to just hang out for this long without a holiday or event surrounding it, and I'm already missing him.
