Our fifth in this ongoing series could really be a one-sentence column: Women like to shop; Men don’t. Okay, I’ll elaborate a bit more, though that really sums it up. Add Christmas into the mix and we can simply say, men would rather be drinking eggnog or anything but shopping during the madness of the Holiday Season.

The Evolution of Technology series continues with a detour to a form of television that is largely extinct: The Television Movie. Also known as Movies-of-the-Week, they were once a staple of the major networks’ schedules back in the days before Fox, Cable, and even VCRs, let alone DVRs. It was also the focus of my first career for a quarter century. Look me up on IMDB or Wikipedia to learn of my sordid past in showbiz!

Featured guests:
Wayne Levine (BetterMenCoaching.com) for “The Men’s Room.”
Pastor Drew Sams (DrewSams.com) for “Teen Rap.”
Special Guest, Elie Venezky taking about his new book, Test Prep Sanity
This show is loosely based on this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, One Overwhelming Week of Stress. We also discuss standardized tests.
Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead…just kidding. I love my in-laws even if “Dad” doesn’t. He’s thrilled that his In-Laws have left! Remember that I’m NOT That Dad and that you can get my new e-book FOR FREE until December 24. Just click on the book cover below!
Culling short videos from 6 hours of footage over 3 days of #OutsideLands, 2012 is quite a challenge, but I’m going for it. This is a few minutes of The Foo Fighters, Neil Young, and lots of people! Look forward to more from our Concert Series!
Elie Venezky and a very limber lady!
Everyone knows the stress that standardized tests cause both students and their parents. We’ve got THE expert on this subject this Thursday at #DadChat from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 -10:00 p.m. ET. Elie Venezky (@PrestigePrep) has been helping families prepare for standardized tests for over 14 years.
We all live busy lives. There’s a saying that goes something like, “If you want something to get done, give it to a busy person.” That may be true, but please don’t give it to me. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed these days. It’s really a good overwhelmed but my doctor insists the body reacts the same to good or bad stress. How we monitor and manage our stresses is so important but I’m not going to offer those suggestions.
