Happy Birthday Mom! My mother would have been 95 this past March 4th, 2013. She and my dad have both been gone several years now. This video – taken by their crypts – is my off-the-cuff reflections about them and thoughts on how to treat YOUR loved ones while they’re still with you. I had no script. This is real life and real emotions. Have your tissues handy!

Winter Time Workouts at #DadChat with @SmashFit
Do we get lazy with our winter time workouts? Does inclement weather discourage you? Exercise and workouts must be a year-round habit. For me, as you can see above, I love to ski but that is limited as far as its frequency. We will discuss both exercise, workouts, diet and more with Heather Frey aka @SmashFit, this Thursday, March 7 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. Heather will also chat about her Change Challenge, which she presented on The Ricki Lake Show. Dress for this chat is “workout casual.”
Rock n Roll: The Cure for What Ails You and the Key to Knowing Your Kids
I know a lot about Rock n Roll, but my range in other music is limited. A new friend who is completely into Hip Hop and Rap has introduced me to such artists as Kanye West, Drake, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj, Jay Z, and others whose names I’d heard but whose music was alien to me. Other than many of the lyrical choices, which I find demeaning to both men and women, I was surprised how creative and good much of the music really was!

Dad Tries Constructive Criticism
Ahhh, the joys of being a parent. Constructive criticism backfires on Dad in this week’s Because I Said So comic strip. Check out our column on this subject, Constructive Criticism – Are Today’s Millennials too Thin-Skinned to Handle It?

Three Years as Radio Talk Show Host
I’ve been a radio talk show host of my very own show for nearly three years. It’s been a wonderful experience. A friend was in studio with me and used my iPhone to video some of my talking and here are some short clips. I think they really represent my show and me pretty darn well. What do you think?
Patience at #DadChat
I hope you can wait until this Thursday, February 28 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET when we take on the complicated issue of “Patience.” Since this is #DadChat, we are going to approach it largely from a parenting point-of-view. When should we be patient with our kids? Is there ever a time we should be impatient? We are pleased to have Andy Holloman as our co-host for this evening’s #DadChat
