I love my wife, I really do. But she’s a cat chick. Not the kind of cat chick that was destined to turn into a cat lady, just a chick that liked her Joni Mitchell, a cup of hot tea and a cat on her lap while she read some John Updike. I was able [...]

To paraphrase Chris Rock “they don’t grade life decisions, but if you have the chairman of an adult video company telling you that you’ve got some hot clips and that he wants to do business, you ****ed up.” But what can parents do to help their kids avoid former Miss California Carrie Prejean’s dilemma? A good grounding in the new Birds and Bees, including thinking twice about what you send out in an e-mail, SMS or Facebook post — and no pictures, please!

Recently a friend of mine revealed that he and his wife had liquidated their baby supplies. He has two children just like me, and while he might have considered adding on to the family his wife had declared “No mas!”. As any dad would expect, that was the end of the discussion. So they lugged [...]

I’m not a big fan of yard work. Those that are have issues, deep seeded, weird, alien-type issues. The one thing I do like to do yearly is rake the leaves — mostly because I can make a big pile of them and let the kids dive into them. Being that I’m a part-time photographer [...]

Hi everyone, I would normally never hijack my own blog for something like this but when you have the chance to help someone you just do it.

This week my oldest came home from school and she was sooooo excited that she screamed something inaudible to me that I later learned was, “Dad, I’m the star of the week!” As I prodded about this so-called award, I found out that it’s earned by getting your name pulled out of the hat. There’s [...]

One of the great, overlooked fight scenes in the history of cinema is the “bullying” sequence from 1941′s How Green Was My Valley. This is a fantastic John Ford movie about Welsh coal miners and the triumphs and trials they face. In this scene, Huw attends school, the first of his family to do so [...]

Gets posted on Every Other Thursday! This week Scott and I are going to be in Vegas for a work-related conference and will be sending updates to the EoT Twitter account. If you’re not following — and chances are you aren’t — get on board today and don’t miss out on all of the fun. [...]

Here at Every Other Thursday, the dads and I have a friendly wager going on as it relates to our knowledge (or in some cases, the lack thereof) around the NFL. The premise is simple, pick the winner each week as well as the point total for the Monday night game just in case of [...]
