Teens and College, @Josef & @MilasPage on #dadchat

What’s New? Where to begin? We had a GREAT #DadChat last night with @Josepf and @MilasPage co-hosting. Read the transcript of 1,200 tweets! We discussed teens and all the joys – HA – and frustrations there-in. Thursday’s Radio Show also was a great discussion on teens and college, too. I went on a fun rant of sorts in Segment Four about college. The current Because I Said So comic is in honor of St. Patrick’s Day and is beautifully drawn by @VoogDesigns. We will be offering a special caricature offer from VoogDesigns.com soon. Stay tuned. I’m heading to the  mountains to get there in time for a BIG DUMP and maybe some powder!

Dad 2.0 Summit, The REAL Definitions of Those Social Media Terms

What’s New is the Dad 2.0 Summit in Austin, Texas. I’m there, having a blast, with a wonderfully engaging and fun group of 200 people – they sold out. Going to the closing party at the infamous Stubbs BBQ tonight and then taking a midnight flight home! I had such a kick writing The REAL Definitions of Those Social Media Terms for the Dad 2.0 Summit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Our 25th Because I Said So comic strip may be my favorite as it’s a tribute to Linus, Peanuts, and Charles Schultz. The 3rd panel is mimicking an old poster I had in my college dorm. #DadChat continues to soar. Stay tuned for this week’s topic with co-hosts @Joseph and @MilasPage.

Opposite Sex Friends on #dadchat, Teens

What’s new? THAT is a loaded question but we’ll save the answer just for things going on here. #DadChat this week veers from strictly parenting and we’ll be discussing the risks/rewards of having opposite sex friends. Opposite sex friends can cause trouble sometimes! The current A Dad’s Point-of-View column is about teens – never a lack of material there, huh? Look for the second I’m NOT That Dad vlog (video blog) tomorrow. Subject is: Thursdays. I hope you like the new design for my website. Please explore a bit and feedback is quite welcome. For that matter, contact me anytime you wish!

The Academy Awards and Nagging

What’s new? Well, the Academy Awards are tonight. Will you watch? Attend an Academy Awards party? Dr. Blunder has been introduced in the Because I Said So comics. Guys, have you ever been Dr. Blunder? #DadChat this coming week will be about #Nagging! Come and join the fight on Thursday from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., PST! I LOVE to Ski – every one that knows me knows that. Enjoy lots of fun videos and a couple great pix in this new column!

Revisiting Gratitude, Social Media and our Kids

What’s New? Where do I begin. First, tonight February 23 we are discussing Social Media and Our Kids at #DadChat with co-host Jure Klepic. This is an important topic for all of us especially in light of the viral YouTube video of a dad shooting his daughter’s laptop after she insulted the family on her Facebook Page! The new “A Dad’s Point-of-View column is, Revisiting Gratitude and the new Because I Said So comic introduces a new character, Dr. Blunder. I hope you like the new look for my website?
