Kevin Vandever's Next Draft
Weekly essays on whatever the hell I'm thinking about in my 60s.
Chronicles from someone who isn't special—just a child, father, husband, friend, and grandfather making his way in the world and doing his best to document it. Subscribe to laugh at me, cry with me, pity my family, or enjoy stories from someone figuring it out alongside you.
New essays every Thursday morning.
