Hopefully YouTube will NOT bust me for this clip of what I think may be a public domain song and a CLASSIC – In the Mood. This was a surprise number at the “Dance Fever” concert at Frank Gehrey’s amazing Walt Disney Concert Hall in July, 2013. We had marvelous seats and it was a truly magical evening.

It’s Back2School Night at #DadChat with @AngelaMaiers – America’s Teacher!
Can it be? Is Summer is almost over? Is it really back to school time? Yes, parents worldwide are celebrating, while kids are moaning and groaning! We have America’s Teacher to help prepare us for this annual ritual. Back again at #DadChat to lead this discussion is America’s Teacher, Angela Maiers, on Thursday August 8 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET.
Do we really have to buy all new school “equipment” and a new wardrobe for our kids? Why have parents become so involved in today’s schooling? What should we do to empower our kids to take charge of their schooling – especially once they’ve begun Middle and High School? We’ll ask these and many more questions at this week’s #DadChat.
Angela has given us this homework for this week’s #DadChat – to read. There may be a pop quiz!

Bruce Teaches Golf
Bruce teaches golf now?? This is the first golf lesson from Bruce. He has been playing golf less than a year but believe he knows everything about the game because he got a hole-in-one on his 10th round of golf, EVER. 185 yard Par 3. So, enjoy this first lesson as Bruce teaches you all his skills – with a special appearance from his wife. Future lessons are available – privately, of course – at the bargain price of $25,000 an hour. Bookings are still available for 2013…
The Entitlement Generation at #DadChat
What parent hasn’t thought that their kid was or might be spoiled? Entitled? The Entitlement Generation is NOW – it’s happening in our government – and it’s filtering down to our kids. How do we instill values and a work ethic in our kids? What do you do when you learn that 30% of all school kids steal from stores AND think it’s okay? Do your older kids think that the music they “get” for free online is their entitlement? What about the movies they download “for free?” Oh, it’s just “the man” that they’re screwing? Join us Thursday, August 1 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET for this important discussion!
Rachel Thompson is our special co-host at #DadChat this week!
THIS is an epidemic. And, ironically, the first time that #DadChat is confronting it. We will just touch the service as I suspect this will be a regular topic – sadly – for years to come.
I Love Travel Except for the Travel Part
The title of this column has been a favorite saying of mine for many years. It’s grown more relevant ever since 9/11 and our recent and ongoing economic woes. When I reference “Travel” I am mostly referring to air travel – flying, airplanes airports, and everything associated with that aspect of traveling. It’s become a complete and total pain, in my humble opinion.
Dad, Sex, Sutton, and Acting
Well, once again “Dad” doesn’t get it. It really is amazing how much patience “Son” seems to have with him. Since we all KNOW that “Dad” is not me, I can say that it’s also amazing how much patience my wife has with ME! This is our 92nd Because I Said So comic strip – all written by yours truly and beautifully illustrated by Michael Voogd. Stay tuned for our forthcoming Because I Said So book commemorating the first One Hundred!
