I’ve been on a whole “Girl-Dad” thing lately and these posts all seem to start that way. See, I’ve learned a few things. There are things you prepare for. And then there are things you pretend won’t ever show up. We’ve covered haircuts, that taught me patience. We’ve covered toilet seats, that corrected what I … Continue reading Life of a Girl Dad (Part 3)

The Life of a Girl Dad (continued ….)
As a girl dad, I’ve learned something important. There are many things I do not understand. That’s how my last post started. BUT. There is one thing I thought I understood. And I was confident. So so confident.Confident in my logic.Confident in my reasoning.Confident that my careful thought process would not only be appreciated… but … Continue reading The Life of a Girl Dad (continued ….)
The Life of a Girl Dad
As a girl dad, I’ve learned something important:There are many things I do not understand. But nothing — nothing — prepares a man for the impending haircut of his 16-year-old daughter. The toilet seat humbled me. More on that laterThe haircut? The haircut exposes me. Because here’s what you need to understand. This is not … Continue reading The Life of a Girl Dad
Three Songs, One Playlist, and the Slow Death of Youth
I do a lot of driving. Not in a “Fast & Furious” way. More in a “middle-aged man silently evaluating his life at red lights” kind of way. Driving isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s actually one of the last socially acceptable ways to be alone. Just you… The road… And the radio. Or nowadays, … Continue reading Three Songs, One Playlist, and the Slow Death of Youth
Three’s Company
I’m not sure, but I think I saw something like this on Three’s Company. You know the sitcom from the 70s and 80s where the three roommates (2 girls and 1 guy) got in all these mixups and misunderstandings? Well, maybe this doesn’t fall into the sitcom world, but it does fall into the blog … Continue reading Three’s Company
The Good ‘Ole Days

Maybe it’s an object or something that happened and I want to know the origin of where it came from. Or perhaps it’s a phrase that we use in our own culture. As you might … Continue reading The Good ‘Ole Days

There Are Rules
We live in a society of rules. When rules aren’t followed, the general framework of daily life breaks down. I’m not talking about laws. Laws are different. Laws are written down and more importantly, if laws are not followed, then there are consequences and punishments. Rules are a different breed. No, I don’t know what … Continue reading There Are Rules
I’ve Been Had
But not just me. Nope. You’ve been had too. We’ve all been had. See, many years ago, decades even, the country needed something. We needed something to believe in. And we found something. Something big, something that gave us a strong belief, a feeling of strength and togetherness. And it made sense. It all made … Continue reading I’ve Been Had
Alas, It’s Time
It’s time I accept it. I called destiny – and it did not take my call. Perhaps it’s just not my time. Maybe I wasn’t meant for greatness. Or, greatness in the super hero sense of the word. I think my ordinary life is pretty great. But I had been led to think there was … Continue reading Alas, It’s Time
