My boys over TEN years ago!
When my parents died, I realized that I was in many ways representing the most senior of generations in my small family. Thankfully, we still have my one older cousin, Sandy, but there are no other “senior” members left. However, I was fortunate to have married into a new family on my wife’s side, with my second marriage a few years ago.

This show is loosely based on this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, “The Longest Day.” We discuss being overwhelmed and my cross-country trip with my son.
Dad and me have discovered the CURE for the #EmptyNest Blues/Syndrome! I just lived it and barely survived. No more empty nest blues here!

It’s that time of year that parents tend to celebrate and kids dread – summer is over and we’re Back-to-School. Whether it’s starting Kindergarten or college – as illustrated above – it’s a trying time for the kids and sometimes for dad and mom. I’m proud to say that we had my friend Peg Fitzpatrick co-host #DadChat on Thursday, September 6 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT. Read the transcript of another excellent chat with our wonderful community of dads and moms.
I wonder how many readers remember the movie, “The Longest Day?” That was the inspiration for the title of this week’s column since one of my summer days this summer was indeed a very long day. We had been visiting my in-laws in Vancouver and the trip was over and we were leaving early the next morning. I don’t like airports at all so I approached the day with a minor degree of dread.

Film photography and darkrooms is the topic for our fourth Evolution of Technology article. Yes, we are going to explore 35mm film and 35mm cameras though we won’t be taking a firm stand on film versus digital (photography). I am honored to again share the writing of this evolving series with Professor David E. Weber, who has co-authored the previous two on Drive-In Movies and Vinyl Records.
