I know, I know, the cliches abound..."I remember back when you were just a baby boy in my arms at home, and you're all grown up..." or maybe "Where did time go? Pretty soon you're going to be driving!"...

We're back from our Michigan vacation at the lake--I’m alive. While the weather wasn’t bad (it only rained one time), it got a bit hotter around here it seemed every day, and with the increase in temperature, it has...

Next week we are traveling to Michigan for a week at a lake that we have (as a family) been going to for three years. My wife has been going off and on to the same place for the...

Ok, so I grew up in an era where fads for kids was as rampant as it is today: Rubik’s cubes, cabbage patch dolls (NO, I did NOT own one), friendship bracelets, beanie babies, and had to survive Elmo...

I know that Thanksgiving comes in November, and I know it’s usually one of those times where it takes a holiday to realize what things we have in our life and really how idiotic we are with all of...

Ahhh, the Fourth of July. Fireworks. Tons of people. Red white and blue as far as the eye can see. Cookouts. Family time. And of course....a parade. Now, don't get me wrong--I am not someone who is some sourpuss...

This week marks the Fourth of July, and it also marks a milestone in my personal life; the end of baseball season. Both of the boys’ games started around the middle of May, and with them playing on the...

Ok, before people start throwing tomatoes here, hear me out. Robin Williams' portrayal of a dad that goes through a divorce from a wife that he didn't want to leave or kids that he didn't want to be around...

I am sure I'll get some slack for not putting the artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince in the number one slot, but you'll soon see the method of my madness. Will Smith's portrayal in Pursuit of Happyness,...

One of the most powerful divorce dramas to this day has to be Kramer vs. Kramer, and Dustin Hoffman's character of Ted Kramer is one that I will never forget. Even though this movie is well over 25 years...

Alright, well, while this movie isn't exactly a testimonial to what fatherhood should be on a global scale, I will say that a father figure that is near and dear to my heart is the dad from American Pie,...

I was watching a movie this weekend and it made me ponder some of the more influential fathers that I have watched in my long life--ok, not THAT long. While I am sure there will be lots of people...

America’s pastime. You can’t beat it. We went this weekend to a AAA game in Indianapolis to see the hometown Indians face off against the Rochester Red Wings. It was the first time I had been to Victory Field...

Strolling out to the first tee today with my driver in hand and the sun beaming down on me, I felt the calm sereneness of the good life as I hit a drive straight and true that landed about...

(Hi Tim) I’m not trying to patronize those that are really addicted to dangerous things, such as gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc. I really think I have a bit of a problem when it comes to the game Rock Band....

Alright, so with the visitation we had set for this week with the boys, we knew that we would be driving back this evening to take them as an extended weekend to their hometown for my oldest son’s baseball game....

Well, this is my weekend to have the boys once again. However, I got a call from my ex-wife earlier in the evening letting me know that my six year old son, Jonathan, had been having some major issues...

This gift is somewhat of a "sign of the times" one that is a bit more important than normal. With the explosion in gas prices and the world thinking green all the way around, any change to save money...

Maybe this is what Willis was talkin' 'bout. A great gift for Father's Day is this Digital Photo Wallet from Brookstone. With the capability to hold up to 50 pictures, you can have your co-workers oohing and ahhing at...

In my search for Father's Day gadgets and fun little things to give to us Dad on the day you celebrate our entire being (hey, it sounds good at least, doesn't it?), I came across this little (yeah right)...

I went to the Indianapolis 500 today for the first time. Unfortunately, as the non-custodial parent of my sons, I didn't have a chance to take them to the race. But even as my wife and I readied our...
