Do As I Say – Not As I Do! #MoralQuestionOfTheWeek
Are you a parental hypocrite? Do you tell your kids the dangers of smoking or drinking, while holding a cigarette and beer? How about something less obvious – do you NOT wear a helmet when you ski or ride a bike while demanding that your kids wear one? I see this ALL the time when I ski and it makes me nuts! Very simply, are YOU a parental hypocrite? Own it if you are and work to change it. Remember that your kids SEE everything you do.
Park City House Progress and Tour – August, 2014 #Moving
The framing process of building a new home makes the whole process seem very quick. We were blown away by the progress on our future home in Park City but we know that the “finish work” is time-consuming so don’t make plans to visit yet! Projected finish date is next Spring. Can’t wait – we will move summer of 2015.
#DadChat Discusses How to Explain EVIL to Our Kids – 9/11
September 11, 2001 — I remember it VERY WELL. I think most adults do. A friend called and said to turn on the TV. I did. I didn’t leave it for hours. My boys were 4 and 7. They were largely oblivious. I think school was cut short that day. I don’t remember. They didn’t understand or ask many questions. #DadChat this Thursday — September 11, 2014 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET — will talk about HOW to discuss/explain such huge world tragedies and EVIL to our children. It is NOT easy to do. We should NOT protect them fully from the world’s travails but age appropriate talk is important.
To Be or Not To Be Fit: Observations from the 2014 Idea World Fitness and Nutrition Convention
I recently attended perhaps the biggest fitness and nutrition convention around – The Idea World Fitness and Nutrition Convention. It’s not my usual bailiwick but it was still interesting and I enjoy meeting new people. As always, expectations can be a tricky thing and some of my expectations were most certainly not met.
Moving to Park City – New House Progress
It’s August 2014 and our house is almost fully framed. We visited for a “walk through” to approve things and made further decisions. This “tour” gives you a great overview of the setting and the house. Ya’all come visit, y’hear? For even more of WHY we are moving to Park City, check out THIS video!

#Golf is Like Eating and #Food
For the second column is this new series about golf, I’m going to explain why golf is like eating and food. It was easy to compare golf to sex and it is equally easy to show its relation to food and eating.
