Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Our Kid’s Narrow View. But, as always, we’ll talk about whatever is on our minds!
Boston is quite a town. Going there for “Move-In” day ain’t fun but the city is darn incredible as these clips show. Fenway Park, Charles River, and more. Enjoy. Who remembers Dirty Water by The Standells (in 1966) about Boston?
The Family Dinner is our topic this Thursday, September 19 at #DadChat from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET, sponsored by Kraft Foods Recipe Makers. I’ve often extolled the virtues of regular family meals and there have been numerous studies showing their positive benefit for the entire family. Today, it seems harder and harder to all “get” together. Kraft is working to make the food part of it easier and we’ll learn about their wonderful new product – Kraft Recipe Makers – while talking among ourselves about the challenges of The Family Dinner at The Family Dinner Table! Anyone interested in winning a $250 Walmart Gift Card?
Due to recent events with my boys, I’ve given extra thought to how they view the world. We know that teens mostly view the world with a very large perspective – their own selfish needs. This is part of their DNA, part of their method to become independent, and as recent brain research has revealed, really part of who they are until sometime in their mid-twenties…hopefully!
Our 99th Because I Said So comic strip illustrates yet again “Dad’s” prowess, style, and class at everything he does – especially as a handyman!
Herein lie clips of some amazing golfing in Park City, Utah at Promontory Ranch. The weather, the course, the people were all simply marvelous – said in my best Billy Crystal!
No, we are not suggesting that running leads to cancer. But, we are going to talk about how they happen to be related via our guests and our opportunity tonight. We have two really interesting guest-hosts this Thursday, September 12 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET — 14-year-old Winter Vinecki and Drew Izzo of Athlete.com. We also have three terrific prizes for this #DadChat which you can read about at the end of this column.
Dad wants Son to look at what he’s written – he’s a writer after all – but Son is concerned about other things in our 98th Because I Said So comic strip.
