Every year around this time I say something about my personal hero, Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. This year is no exception. Of all the people I admire and respect in this world he is the one who has stayed consistent. Of course part of the reason for this is that his greatness has remained [...]
I have no clue why this didn't post on Father's day as I set it to. I am marginally annoyed by that. Better late than never, I suppose... I've been writing for this blog for some time now (according to my last post anyway) so I know when it's time for a certain daddy blogger [...]
Time flies. I know it's cliche to say that but it's true. When I started this blog my son had just turned three. He was such a handful that I had to write about it. Now he's seven, a handful in a much different way, and FatherDad is 4. Four years on the internet is [...]
My wife has this theory that Dev is spoiled because for the last week he has been noting that he is bored and only kids who have lots of fun all of the time would notice the few moments when they are bored. I must admit that he has said spoiled kid nonsense like [...]
My faithful readers know that I almost never do giveaways. I only do them for things that I find to be cool and I usually make you do something annoying to get the prize. This time is no different! I think owning this DVD is a great opportunity to open up the discussion of real [...]

I've never posted a conversation with my mother on this blog. Good thing she doesn't own a computer... My mother and I were talking on the phone the other day and as usual she tried to run a guilt trip on me. She said "oh my boys don't call me enough." And "I guess one [...]
I was re-reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail and I had to pause to take a deep breath a time or two. Not because his letter was a tear jerker - it's not. It's truth spoken to power and is not at all sentimental. The ideas from his letter that [...]
It's a new year and a new me! Um, not quite. I'm the same old me (and getting older apparently). I'm ok with that, since I made it to another year intact. I've been busy working on great projects behind the scenes and planning for 2010. Throughout the year I'm hoping to roll out [...]
This past weekend my wife was sick with some kind of 24 hour bug. I was glad to see her resting for a change, but not under the circumstances. I purchased the soup and juice needed to combat any sickness and plowed her with acetaminophen to keep the fever down. I am also a self [...]
