There’s no question that I’m addicted to skiing. Happily, it’s been a healthy love affair. And, lucky for me, I’ve had the opportunity to ski far and wide, from heli-skiing at the infamous Bugaboos in British Columbia to skiing in Chamonix and Zermatt. But, without a doubt, the best skiing and snow in the world is right here at home. And, with a recent move, I’ve discovered the ski resort of my dreams in Canyons Resort in Utah.

Social Media Social Good – The Social Media Addiction Test
There’s no doubt that there will be more and more columns, magazine covers, and television coverage of the affects of technology on our lives. Our kids have grown up in a smart-phone tech world and know nothing other than that reality. We all now have what I call virtual friends, those “friends” that we actually consider friends but that we’ve actually never met or even spoken with.

Happy Birthday Mom
Happy Birthday Mom! My mother would have been 95 this past March 4th, 2013. She and my dad have both been gone several years now. This video – taken by their crypts – is my off-the-cuff reflections about them and thoughts on how to treat YOUR loved ones while they’re still with you. I had no script. This is real life and real emotions. Have your tissues handy!
Winter Time Workouts at #DadChat with @SmashFit
Do we get lazy with our winter time workouts? Does inclement weather discourage you? Exercise and workouts must be a year-round habit.

Three Years as Radio Talk Show Host
I’ve been a radio talk show host of my very own show for nearly three years. It’s been a wonderful experience. A friend was in studio with me and used my iPhone to video some of my talking and here are some short clips. I think they really represent my show and me pretty darn well. What do you think?
