Today we are premiering the first I’m NOT That Dad video blog aka vlog. It will be a weekly series, appearing each Wednesday. I hope you enjoy. My intent is to make this vlog entertaining as well as offer something of value. Given my background in television, I will also strive for occasionally good production values! #DadChat tomorrow at 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., PST is about nagging…be there, please? C’mon, mark your calender. Don’t forget. The newest “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column has been generating quite a number of comments as it seems to have touched a nerve. Please add your thoughts to The Risks of Opposite Sex Friends.

I Love to Ski
I’ve been a ski lover for years. During my first marriage I hardly got to ski at all. My first wife wasn’t interested NOR were my boys. We tried, but they didn’t take to it and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from being a dad it’s that you can’t nor shouldn’t push your kids to do what you like vs. what they like. You can introduce them to your passions, but they get to make the choice – or you’ll suffer in the end!
When my marriage ended, I vowed I’d never give up skiing again. My boys were now older and I was able to get baby-sitters for my ski trips. When I was blessed to meet my second wife, it turned out she was a better skier than me. We’ve enjoyed skiing together ever since.
In fact, we are going on our second heli-skiing trip next month…below is my favorite photo from our last one to The Adamants in British Columbia.

Wayne Levine (BetterMenCoaching.com) for “The Men’s Room”
Special Guest, Jodi Okun with a college discussion.
This show is loosely based on this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Revisiting Gratitude.
Revisiting Gratitude, Social Media and our Kids
What’s New? Where do I begin. First, tonight February 23 we are discussing Social Media and Our Kids at #DadChat with co-host Jure Klepic. This is an important topic for all of us especially in light of the viral YouTube video of a dad shooting his daughter’s laptop after she insulted the family on her Facebook Page! The new “A Dad’s Point-of-View column is, Revisiting Gratitude and the new Because I Said So comic introduces a new character, Dr. Blunder. I hope you like the new look for my website? Feedback is welcome…

Revisiting Gratitude
Nearly seven years ago, I fell asleep at the wheel of my truck. The resulting accident – with the cruise control set at 72 mph – should have killed me, or worse. I walked away with nary a meaningful scratch as did my dog, who was thrown from the vehicle when we veered off the highway. As I drive that same route regularly, a recent visit to the crash site made me reflect on how lucky I was then and how lucky I am now.
