Lice, Facial & Chest Hair, Rockets and Halloween – Cast of Dads Episode #34
So I guess that CC Chapman finally hit puberty on this episode of Cast of Dads. We are not exactly sure what happened, whether it was the Skype "bugs" at work, the fact that Halloween is just around the corner or if CC just has an alter ego that came out when we recorded Episode #34 "Itchy Scratchy Hasselhoff", but…

Cougars, Cars, Dirty Diapers, Fighting & Shooting Pool with a Rope – Cast of Dads Podcast #33
You gotta love unscripted recordings. And how we are all at the beck & call of technology. During our live podcast, Skype decided to act like a misbehaving child and refused to let us talk.

Hey Brands & PR Agencies – Dads are Different than Moms!
When I started blogging about 5 years ago, I had no idea what direction it would take me, nor what type of success or lack there of it would have. I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised at the result thus far. But it wasn't easy. Having a full time job and having a full time family are two things that…

A Dude Ranch Vacation at Greenhorn Creek Ranch – Riding, Fishing and Generally “Horsing Around”!
My family and I spent about a week up at a Dude Ranch in Northern California called "Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch". Since I have 3 girls, their grandparents thought that introducing them to horses and ranching at their age would be great for them. I couldn't agree more! Earlier this year, we set out looking for a nice dude ranch…

I usually write about technology, gadgets, software, hardware and other gizmos. I also have been know to talk about parenting from time to time.

Daddy Got an Owie! Making Your Own Injuries A Lesson to Your Kids – Cast of Dads Podcast #28

Cool Birthday Parties, Pool Safety & Live Parenting Failures Round Out “Cast of Dads” Episode #27
Sorry for the delay in posting about our latest Cast of Dads podcast. Coordinating family schedules are hard enough…but when you attempt to coordinate 5 different schedules from different families, it's a monumental task.
