Cross-Country Road Trip – Top Sites

Hours of video were taken on our cross-country road trip last summer, from Los Angeles to Boston, driving my son to begin his freshman year at college. It was an eventful cross-country road-trip, replete with break-downs, surprises, and flea-bag motels. Enjoy some of the highlights in this short 8-minute video of the top sites!

Alien at the Tattoo Convention

This is yet another video from my book, The Empty-Nest Road Trip Blues: An Interactive Journal from A Dad’s Point-of-View. My son and I had just finished driving 3000 miles in eight days, from Los Angeles to Boston. Upon arriving at our hotel, we saw swarms of people with tattoos arriving, as we learned, for The Boston Tattoo Convention. My son quickly left me to meet up with friends and I decided to crash the tattoo convention. The experience proved incredibly eye-opening and I had such a good time with the people that I returned again that night. I turned out to be “the alien” among all present at the Boston Tattoo Convention plus I get a lesson in judgments – don’t make ’em! Enjoy all these tattoos and cool people.

Road Trip: 3000 Miles in 3 Minutes

My son and I drove from Los Angeles to Boston in late August/early September of 2012. You might call it a Road Trip. We did it in 8 days, but you only have to watch 3,000 miles in 3 minutes. We had so many adventures, but this will at least give you a taste! It’s all documented in my new ebook.

Oak Park High School Presents Les Miserables

It’s amazing what some kids with passion can do! Oak Park High School’s production of Les Miserables was truly wonderful. They did it four times with two different casts for the leads. Each cast was terrific and the entire ensemble was simply fantastic. Now, I’m not the least bit biased, of course, even though my son played “Marius” (this is “his” cast – on Opening Night). Enjoy these nine minutes of clips from this 2 1/2 hour production of Les Miserables.

Morning After Pill Ruling BS

I was asked by HuffPostLive to make a video comment for a segment they were preparing about the Morning After PIll and an activist judge’s ruling. This is what I said. I believe EVERY word in this short rant. I believe it’s ABSURD that a judge can legislate. I believe that a child THAT YOUNG should NOT have access to any sort of prescription meds. Kids need to be 16 to drive, 18 to smoke or enlist, and 21 to drink, but it’s OKAY that they can get birth control – after the fact , the morning after pill- at ANY AGE? C’mon, even you lefties have to see the craziness of this? Are we becoming like a totalitarian regime where The State parents OUR kids? This is yet another case of Political Correctness gone MAD!
