When our ship arrived at Madagascar, we were met by a lot of canoes. People were selling fruit and vegetables. They brought their families for more attention and sales “appeal.” It was heartbreaking to realize how little they had, how hard their lives must be, and how tragic most of Africa truly is. Yet, they seemed content and happy in their own ways…
That’s my dad, deceased nearly a decade, lifting a home-made 100-pound dumb-bell. He was my hero in the most simple ways. This Thursday May 29, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET, let’s celebrate Father’s Day a bit early with OUR fav Dad Moments, whether they be OF our dad or AS a dad.
I know I’m old when I really get nostalgic about so many things. Top of the list is good customer service. Yes, I remember when uniformed gas station attendants cheerfully came out and offered to fill your tank, check your oil and tire pressure, AND clean your windshield. Yes, I remember going into a shoe store where a man in a suit would come out and offer to help. AND, he actually was a professional who knew all about EVERY shoe in the store and took pride in being a GREAT shoe salesman.
The list goes on and on. Today it’s slightly different.

Technology and us…let alone OUR KIDS – is an evergreen topic at #DadChat. Why? Because it is ever-changing and ever-present in all our lives. When we can have a true expert on the topic, I leap at the opportunity and that is what we have this Thursday, May 22 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET with Brian Fanzo.
Brian Fanzo is the proud Dad of 3 girls, living in Arizona. He was born in Pittsburgh and is a diehard fan for all Pittsburgh Sports. He IS a Social Media Geek who loves technology and currently is the Social Technology Evangelist at @Iodatacenters focused on collaboration, community and teaching change. I think, however, he LOVES being a dad – READ…
Some questions to ponder and ask Brian:
~~ Are YOU as tech savvy as YOUR kids?
~~ When you get a new tech toy, who figures it out first – YOU or the kids?
~~ What do you do to protect your family on the web?
~~ Do your kids have unfettered access to all forms of media?
~~ What is YOUR biggest fear about the Internet?
~~ What is YOUR biggest love about the Internet?
Some suggest tweets to invite your friends to join #DadChat this week:

What is the biggest world problem? Some would have you believe it is Climate Change; others might say Iran, China, and/or North Korea, while others will cite Russia or corruption/dissention in our capital. Yes, those are all problems with the exception, in my opinion, of “climate change” which used to be labeled “global warming” but is simply – WEATHER.
