Moral Question of the Week – When an Apology is Not Enough – #DadChatA Boomer’s Point-of-View: The ONLY Thing I Control is What I Eat for BreakfastLately, a lot of things have been going on in my life. And, my ability to influence them – aka control them – is pretty much ZILCH. What a surprise. I like to quote myself and the title of this column is one of my quotes. In fact, on my website I have a scrolling quote bar right below my name at the top of each page. Don’t Let the HATERS Get You or Your Kids at #DadChat ThursdayThe Haters are coming! The Haters are coming! Sadly, they are already here and “they” can affect us all. One wrong step (in their eyes) and they go for the jugular.
