It’s August 2014 and our house is almost fully framed. We visited for a “walk through” to approve things and made further decisions. This “tour” gives you a great overview of the setting and the house. Ya’all come visit, y’hear? For even more of WHY we are moving to Park City, check out THIS video!
#Golf is Like Eating and #Food
For the second column is this new series about golf, I’m going to explain why golf is like eating and food. It was easy to compare golf to sex and it is equally easy to show its relation to food and eating. My #Travel Buddies in #India and #AfricaMeet some of the people that we traveled with to 13 countries in Africa and India, 22 cities, in 33 days at the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014. Dads In the Limelight – Dad Progress at #DadChat
The Dad of Divas, our very own Christopher Lewis is co-hosting – officially – #DadChat this Thursday, September 4 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. His Dads In the Limelight series is now at #466 and has been a stalwart of dad blogs since it premiered. We are going to talk about the progress dads have made in our society and anything else on Chris’ mind or yours to ask him. Sleepovers
When I was a kid, I did “sleepovers” at my friend’s houses. By the time I was double-digit age, it was no longer “cool” and it stopped. Today’s kids start sleepovers early and, apparently, they never end. Today, there are sleepovers of groups of high-schoolers, and sleepovers of boy/girl couples IN one of their parents’ homes. HELLO? Have We Hit a Tipping Point of TOO MUCH (#Technology and #SocialMedia)?
Watching a couple of relatively new movies on NetFlix recently I was struck by how well they are now integrating daily technology into the story lines. Everyone in a contemporary film has/uses smart-phones, communicates via texting, and is adept on a laptop. In espionage and thrillers (e.g. James Bond), they take it to an extreme that may not be realistic but it’s often not too far out of touch with reality. But, when it comes to everyday stories, I suspect it’s very touched by reality and that is my concern. Park City House Tour – Progress! August, 2014
Can You Be #Friends with Someone Whose #Politics are Diametrically Opposed to Yours?
Yes, I know most people would answer this “Moral Question of the Week” with a quick, “Of course.” But, to me, it’s not so simple. To me, the future of my kids’ lives are at stake with what is going on in the world today. Therefore, the politics of our times – both domestically and internationally – make a huge difference in my day-to-day life and thinking. I’ve found that reasonable “dialogue” with people with opposing views is hard and often ends up in someone being angry. So, with “old” friends on the opposite spectrum, we’ve agreed to simply not talk politics. |
