Do you remember that great George Carlin line about wanting to become a millionaire? I’m paraphrasing him but he said something like, “So, you want to be a millionaire – pause – first thing, get a million dollars.” Don’t we all wish it were that simple! No, you will not get magic tips on how to monetize from this column. You will get some useful ideas that you can employ.

This show is loosely based on two current “A Dad’s Point-of-View” columns, An Ironic Father-Son Story #IRL and Seven Days Without My iPhone.
“Letting it all out” takes on a new meaning. When Dad lets one out out, everyone knows it.
Syndication rights to the Because I Said So comic strips are now available. Contact me for more information on carrying this truly NEW comic strip!
I’ve often dissed Hollywood and Madison Avenue for their depictions of dads, and men in general, for that matter. It is still not optimal, but it is changing for the better. How surprising to me that the best current portrayal of a father-son relationship came in a documentary about chimpanzees!
#DadChat HAD it ALL on Thursday, April 17th with our biggest night ever. TY Carrie Wilkerson, parent and CEO. If you missed it, here’s the transcript!
No photo-editing. This image was real! The pilot playing after dropping us off.
Note: This column was written while on vacation – heli-skiing – during the first week of April, 2012. And, in fact it was nine days…
I have just embarked on a heli-skiing trip to the Cariboo Mountains. I chose NOT to bring my iPhone. First, I had thought there was no reception at the lodge. Second, every time I go to Canada I incur stupid charges that piss me off. And, third, I thought it would be a great experiment to go without it.
The older I get the more I work to manage my expectations and be appreciative and grateful for all the blessings I have in my life. Nonetheless, there are times when I just get disappointed. It may last just a moment or linger for a while as it has with a recent incident with my older son. My wife and me have gotten so much better at NOT allowing the little things to cause rifts or hurt feelings though her favorite words are,” You hurt my feelings.”
