It’s time our Moral Question of the Week took on something hard! The other day my wife threw out, what appeared to me, perfectly good bananas. She said because they were covered with brown spots she believed that they were no longer good. She said doctors say there’s too much sugar in them at that point. I always thought that the slightly brown-patched bananas were actually better and tastier. What do you think?
The Definitive Guide: How to Build a Successful Tweet Chat #Twitter #DadChat
We’ve all seen how ubiquitous hashtags have become and how everyone in media is using them. In #SocialMedia, it’s now the standard way of getting attention on Twitter and the Tweet Chat has grown to include over 1,000 regular chats. These are the contemporary equivalents of chat rooms, but much more specific. I started #DadChat 3 ½ years ago and it’s grown into one of the most successful on Twitter.

Mom made sure I carried a dime “just in case” I needed to call home. It’s slightly different now! Relating to My Boys as Adults #DadChat
Today I had lunch with my older son and dinner with my younger one. They are about to turn 18 and 21. Each meal was different because they are unique individuals but there was one similarity. Our interchanges were not a whole lot different than if I’d had a meal with a friend or peer. Amazing! Am I Asking Too Much to Expect Replies to my Calls, Emails, and Texts? #Communication
How My Wife and #Dogs Differ – Ten Ways, Part One
Okay, I’m kidding. Well, sort of. Of course my dogs and my wife are not the same in ANY way but their differences are sort of striking. I love my dogs but I have NEVER equated the love of my pets with my love of human beings. Nonetheless, there’s a reason people are fanatical about their pets. Mostly, I think it’s the unconditional love. In our human relationships, we actually tend to expect something from one another. Sunrise at the Taj Mahal #TravelWe visited The Taj Mahal at both sunrise and sunset – so awesome. But, it was the people I met that made the visit. Watch it now! |
