Ricardo Rossello work-hardyoudadwork I liked climbing trees and could often be found up one reading a book. I played games with Dad and drew maps for him on isometric paper. It was very bonding.

Rex Orange County mesingingdadschool As a kid in Fayetteville, N.C., I played golf all day, every day, a lot of it by myself.
