My son Arnie has begun his college career at The Berklee College of Music. His band – Refrain – had a Goodbye Concert this past summer. Enjoy these highlights and see the birth of a star! We’ll ALL look back at this video someday and say, “we knew them when.” But I’m not a biased dad!

Jason Ramsey co-hosted Thursday’s #DadChat, October 11 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. Read the transcript and enjoy all we shared.

How to Make a Difference: ONE Person at a Time
I often proselytize about how we can each make a difference. Every Sunday on my A Dad’s Point-of-View Facebook Page, I ask as part of what I call #FaithSunday, “What are YOU doing to Repair the World?” It’s said that we can repair the world, one person at a time. I believe that to my core. Trying to solve the big problems in the world can be simply overwhelming, but everyone can touch a single human being. Everyone can make a difference.
Twitter Communication: Communicating on #Twitter Effectively (and Preventing Hurt or Disappointment)
As most of you know, I’m a very bashful guy: the shy, retiring, quiet sort who doesn’t share his feelings or opinions. I wish. My personality gets me into occasional trouble, IRL. I also can occasionally put my foot in it online via a Tweet, email, or comment. BUT, twitter IS the most dangerous one of them all, for you and me!

Mom Does WHAT?
Because I Said So brings in another character – sort of – “MOM” – and sinks to the level of mainstream comedy with some toilet humor!
Concert Series: Kenny Loggins and The House on Pooh Corner
This past summer was concert season and this was just one of many I attended. It was at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California. A very intimate club where some pretty big names occasionally perform. Kenny Loggins lives nearby in Montecito (next to Santa Barbara, California) so it was easy for him to come and perform. I loved it and had such a good time. It’s obvious from this video!
