Friends
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see or hear the word, “Friends?” For my younger son it would undoubtedly be the TV-series that aired for a decade on NBC, because he loves it so. For others, it might be that Bette Midler song. Maybe it would be something from Sesame Street? Friends enrich our lives. And, like that famous saying, “We don’t choose our family, but we do choose our friends,” we actually have some control over who is our friend.
Why Men Need Other Men
As a dad advocate that means I’m also a man advocate. Years of doing “men’s work” have taught me much, but top of the list is the fact that men need other men in their lives. A great way to have men in your life is to be part of a men’s group. There are many kinds of men’s groups. After you’ve read and agreed with this list, go out and find one that is right for you.
Teens and College, @Josef & @MilasPage on #dadchat
What’s New? Where to begin? We had a GREAT #DadChat last night with @Josepf and @MilasPage co-hosting. Read the transcript of 1,200 tweets! We discussed teens and all the joys – HA – and frustrations there-in. Thursday’s Radio Show also was a great discussion on teens and college, too. I went on a fun rant of sorts in Segment Four about college. The current Because I Said So comic is in honor of St. Patrick’s Day and is beautifully drawn by @VoogDesigns. We will be offering a special caricature offer from VoogDesigns.com soon. Stay tuned. I’m heading to the mountains to get there in time for a BIG DUMP and maybe some powder!

Radio Show – I’m NOT That Dad #3
Dad 2.0 Summit, The REAL Definitions of Those Social Media Terms
What’s New is the Dad 2.0 Summit in Austin, Texas. I’m there, having a blast, with a wonderfully engaging and fun group of 200 people – they sold out. Going to the closing party at the infamous Stubbs BBQ tonight and then taking a midnight flight home! I had such a kick writing The REAL Definitions of Those Social Media Terms for the Dad 2.0 Summit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Our 25th Because I Said So comic strip may be my favorite as it’s a tribute to Linus, Peanuts, and Charles Schultz. The 3rd panel is mimicking an old poster I had in my college dorm. #DadChat continues to soar. Stay tuned for this week’s topic with co-hosts @Joseph and @MilasPage.
