The 2013 Ford Flex

Thursday, August 23 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT, we discussed The Empty Nest Syndrome at #DadChat. THIS Dad is feeling it big-time because my first-born is starting college at The Berklee College of Music later this month. It’s my belief that this topic has too often focused on how moms feel “losing” their kids. Well, dads go through similar feelings…heck we ALL do! It was a busy and fun night: here’s the transcript.

Shake, Rattle, and #DadChat

We’ve gone from raising money for charity to shake, rattle and rollin’ at #DadChat. Yep, that’s what we’re doing this Thursday May 7 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., PT. Bring your favorite all-time rock album and bring one desert island song to share and shake it. Columns this week are on the serious side with one about Repairing the World and the other about finding that elusive Balance in our lives! I’m going to be making a road trip from L.A. to Boston in August. FORD is lending me a Flex as I take my first-born to college. Looking for other sponsors. I will be tweeting, #DadChatting, vlogging, and other media on our nearly 3000-mile trip with stops in Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Denver, Des Moines, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland (and the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame), Niagara Falls, Cooperstown, and on to Boston! Wanna come?
