So, what has you really irked this past year? We ranted out the year and had an all-out RANT-A-THON at #DadChat on Thursday, December 27th, though it turned into a positive reflection on the good in our lives rather than just a whining sessions. Says something about our community! Read the transcript and see you next year!
Given that I like to talk, I thought I might as well talk about and read my new book to you! I’m calling this a B-Vlog – a book-vlog! The book is titled, The Empty Nest Road Trip Blues: An Interactive Journal from A Dad’s Point-of-View. My good friend Dave Taylor wrote a glowing review as he really GOT it – find that review here: http://www.http://gofatherhood.com/2012/12/the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues/. Another great dad friend, Christopher Lewis also wrote a terrific review: http://dadofdivas.com/fatherhood/book-review-the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues-by-brucesallan
Get the book by simply clicking on the book image below. It is currently available in several different formats – more getting added every day:
Dad learns the meaning of Christmas from Son. It’s a lesson we all should remember! Christmas is about more than…
Ever wonder how I do my radio show? My show airs on four AM stations and is done the old-fashioned way. We record it “live” in an actual studio. I have a producer/engineer and a real radio mike and I sit in the booth and talk away and interact, via my headphones, with my call-in guests or directly for those guests that come “In Studio.” Check it out. We’re coming up on 3-years of doing my weekly radio show and it’s been so much fun!
Every time #DadChat does music, we have a blast. Don’t we ALL love Christmas songs? What are your favorites? We brought ALL our favorites Thursday, December 20. Jason Ramsey, our resident music expert, did the co-hosting job as he did beautifully in the past for our music-related chats. Homework for this chat was The Ten Most Beloved Christmas Songs and listening to my annual Christmas Radio Special! See if YOUR favorite Christmas song was there in the #DadChat transcript!
Note: I wrote this column before the tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. Perhaps another lesson to be taken from this senseless act is related to procrastination. Don’t wait to tell those you love how much they mean to you. Don’t wait to do those things together as a family that you often put off. Put down your devices and LOVE your family now.
