When I began dating again, after my divorce, I had certain desired requirements for any women I might date. They were simple – she had to be breathing. No, they weren’t that simple because my life at the time was far from simple. Raising two traumatized young boys alone meant, or so I thought, that I should only date women who also were single parents. I had my boys almost 24/7 in the beginning and later 24/7 period, now for over a decade.

Our 100th Because I Said So comic strip does what many say you’re not supposed to do – we “break the wall” of the comic’s illusion and rules. Dad speaks with our artist Michael Voogd about our forthcoming Kickstarter comic book campaign for a book commemorating the first 100 Because I Said So comic strips. I think it’s a wonderful way to celebrate this milestone and I hope you agree?

Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board – for “Political Talk.”
Pastor Drew Sams for “Spiritual Talk.”
Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.”
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!
