The Best Of: There’s No Such Thing As Quality Time
This post will inaugurate a “Best Of” series of column re-runs — early “A Dad’s Point-of-View” columns that may not have seen much in the way of readers. Thankfully, my writing and Social Media work have grown considerably since I began writing way back when.

Okay, I haven’t done this list before, but it is now going to be an annual event. Gratitude, as my friend Dennis Prager espouses, is the number one ingredient to happiness. I completely concur. He wrote a whole book on happiness and dedicates one hour of his weekly show to that topic because he believes happy people make a better world. Don’t you? Best Practical Joke of the Year
My boys and I have a habit of telling tall tales. Naturally, I was the one who started this “tradition” and it’s been fun ever since to try and keep a straight face when pulling each other’s leg. Last night I pulled off perhaps the best one ever, aided by the ease of doing it via texting.
