Congratulation to David Wise, the first Olympic Gold Medalist in the Skiing Half-Pipe competition. David, we met at Park City just before you left for Sochi. You were so nice and unassuming. I think what you represent as an athlete, husband, and dad is so valuable. Please come on my tweet chat – #DadChat – for just one hour some Thursday evening and let’s inspire others together…email me at: [email protected].

Re-Entry is Hard – #Travel
View from plane as we approached Dubai – all photos by Bruce Sallan
I am writing this column, again on a plane, two weeks after returning home from my incredible trip to 13 countries, 21 cities, in 38 days (mostly in India and Africa). I’m on a very short flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. It’s a piece of cake in comparison to the 17-hour flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta, Georgia, which was just one leg of my trip home. Heck, there’s only a one-hour time change. We were 10-12 hours ahead on the other trip.
Dad Goes Shutterfly
#DadChat is sponsored by Shutterfly this Thursday, February 20 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. We thought it would be fun for “Dad” to participate and, for what it’s worth, this dad actually made several photos books and loved the process.

Beignets in New Orleans
What would a visit to New Orleans be without a visit to the famous Cafe du Monde for some hot coffee and beignets?! It was one of my first stops when I arrived in NOLA for the Dad 2.0 Summit.
Dubai to Mumbai: Decadence and Deprivation

Going from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to various stops in India is about as stark a change as one can imagine. Dubai is a 42-year-new country with unlimited resources and a tiny (indigenous) population of 1 million, while India has been around since well before the birth of Christ and its 1.2 billion inhabitants account for 18% of the world’s human beings.
Dad Does Valentine’s Day
Ahhh, Valentine’s Day. It’s our women’s Super Bowl and it’s our nightmare. Dad tries his best to pick the right card but we all know that he’ll miss, so let’s see how he does?! You might enjoy this column, Why Guys Hate Valentine’s Day.
