NEWS OF THE MOMENT
3/11/10 - We are back in Morocco for 6 days, in the capital city of Robat. A new column called "A Cornucopia of Unrelated Revelations" is now up and you can see it here on a site in New Zealand. My newest "Just A Guy" blog is up and it's a doozie - who doesn't struggle with different comfort zones regarding order and cleanliness in their houses, especially with boys and dogs, as we do? We were in Madeira 3 days ago - check out the photo album of our trip on our "A Dad's Point-of-View" page where you can meet like-minded parents and friends from all over the world. We now have over 1,300 members - why not you? My goal is to ultimately reach several thousand members, for a community of moms and dads that can reach out to one another. I've given in and am now "tweeting" away - please follow me at Twitter. There is so much to learn about all this "social media" - what happened to just talking on the phone, having coffee, or lunch with your friends? In light of Haiti, our current trip, and so many recent world events, I believe a recent column of mine is one that is important and relevant to our parental worries, as it is about the world our children are inheriting from us. I maintain it's a much harder, harsher, and scarier world. Here's a link to it, or you can find it here in "My Columns." As I've mentioned before, feel free to post a comment or start a dialogue here on my Web site with Join The Conversation. Express whatever is on your mind that my site, blogs or columns inspire. Also, I welcome column suggestion ideas.

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.
