Jeff Krasno spent years driving his family through the most terrifying stretch of I-95 there is: the dark part after New Haven. His daughter remembers it as the safest she ever felt.
In this episode, Jeff recounts the family's white-knuckle night drives to a Connecticut cottage — deer carcasses, wobbly 18-wheelers, and a car full of sleeping kids lulled out by Schuyler's New Yorker readings — and the moment nearly 20 years later when his daughter's heartfelt dinner-table tribute gets undercut by his own internal monologue about exactly how he was driving.
This is the sixteenth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
