Entries accepted during #DadChat, beginning at 6:00 p.m., PST on Thursday! The second one will be posted during #DadChat. Depending on how the evening goes, we’ll either all vote for the best caption or I’ll choose a winner for each photo. I’d prefer the former, but we’ll just have to see if that is practical!

Everybody Hurts

 

I took today’s column title from the very great REM song, Everybody Hurts. I also happen to love The Corrs’ version of it as well (see above). The lyrics are incredibly deep for a rock ‘n’ roll song, though I’m not sure that REM can be so simply classified in a music genre. Regardless, these lyrics are important and touched me the other day as I was walking and thinking. I do some of my best thinking when I walk around a small lake near our home.

Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts.
Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no. Don’t throw your hand
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

To be the best parent in these technological times, you must know how to use Social Media.
