NEWS OF THE MOMENT

9/2/10 - Today's Radio Show should be terrific as I have Dr. Robert Goldman, renowned teen expert, as my guest for the first two segments.  Please listen in when we're "live" at 11:00 a.m. - noon, PST, or anytime after right here on our Radio Show Page.

Have you "liked"our  "A Dad's Point-of-View" Facebook page?  yet? We passed the milestone of 2,500 members recently, heading to 3,000 soon, so it's your turn to join our A Dad's Point-of-View page.  You can meet other like-minded moms and dads literally from ALL over the world. Please join us there.

My newest column is "There Are No Perfect Friends," and it will be the subject of today's radio show. Friendships. They can be challenging, especially for our volatile teens. Listen to it anytime, anywhere, right here on the Radio Show page.

"A Story of Giving," is about our friends, the Africa Zebras in Ghana.  We heard from Frank Bennin, their minister, that they just received our 3rd box!  Here is a link to the photos they sent. That was my son's box!  The whole story inspired a blog which I hope you'll read, act on, pass along, and try not to cry too much!  The radio show about them is on our Radio Show page.

Are you following me on Twitter?  Please do, as I often post pithy and obviously short tweets that I think you'll find interest.

Becoming a writer and a columnist was always the direction I expected to follow, as I worked with writers constantly in my first career as a television executive and producer (see my credits and resume). But in those days, I never actually set pen to paper -- or fingers to keyboard.

“A Dad’s Point-of-View” began about four years ago, when I was hired as a columnist for a local paper. At the end of 2008, I began my self-syndicating efforts to expand by sending out literally thousands of emails.  The response was overwhelming as my column now appears in over 75 newspapers and Web sites here in the U.S. and internationally. There are sites carrying my column in the U.K., India, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Australia, and Israel. In addition, I'm one of the few male bloggers hired to write an exclusive blog for momlogic.com. It is called “Just A Guy.”  I’ve also appeared on webcasts and radio talk shows in recent months.

The subjects I cover include parenting, raising boys, dating as a single parent, internet dating advice, marriage advice, blending families and dealing with step-parenting, all the ups and downs of separation and divorce, as well as the general parenting perspective from a man’s point-of-view which, I fervently assert, is different from a woman’s!

I have a "fan page" on Facebook and would love you to join and participate.
