Popular Post joelha Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 I asked and Chris encouraged me to post my story. Please forgive the fact that it has nothing to do with audio. I'm hoping it will bring a smile to some of your faces.

PeterSt Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Oh Joel, what a great Sunday morning story this is ! And as you can imagine, I feel part of your story a little. Followed by dozens of more emails, and then July 2018 you sent this : which, btw, you sent exactly on my birthday. I think back at that time you too wondered how to go about with your new wife (I forgot what you told about that, but at least I remember me wondering). It is so good to hear how this turned out - her moving -, apart from suddenly having this wonderful family. 3 hours ago, joelha said: Please forgive the fact that it has nothing to do with audio. That depends on what part of the stories you tell. Haha. Joel, you are special. Tell your wife that someone behind the internet is sure about this.

And thoroughly researched as well. :) Thanks very much for a very warm and kind message. It says a lot good about you. Joel Link to comment

At the risk of sounding very cliche', since we've wanted parenthood for this long, every day feels a little like Mother's and Father's Day. Joel Link to comment
Rt66indierock Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 A nice story about life working out. Sometimes it isn’t fear as much as immediate tasks getting in the way. Enjoy having your life with the right pieces and people in it. Link to comment

Superdad Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Wow Joel. That is quite a journey you have been on. And with 4 young ones it is only just beginning! Mazel tov! --Alex C. UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment
Middy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 A beautiful story with a happy ending. We are all bound by social conventions in life, yours seemed enough to knit a thick jumper.... They are nothing but community guide posts for navigating the world, freedom is the unbeaten track, were good people can flourish. Quadraphonic babies....my mono system is as loud and complex as I can handle.... please keep us updated on your trials and tribulations...thats the good stuff.... and as much luck as I can imagine coming your way... Really lovely. Dave Link to comment

It has been a remarkably journey and, with four three-year-olds and a wonderful wife, that journey continues. Mazel tov gratefully accepted. Joel Superdad 1 Link to comment

Really lovely. Dave What a really nice message, Dave. Yes, social conventions left the building during this venture. But the result was certainly worth it. And as for volume, those quad-kids can sometimes sound like a full blown Atmos system, but I'm bit complaining. This is far and way the best time of my life. Thanks for your very kind thoughts.
